Lost My Name creates personalised books based around a child's name. The books are created and ordered online, then sent out to printing partners around the world. The high-tech approach makes it cheap to product and deliver the books.

TechCrunch reports that Lost My Name is raising a $9 million Series A valuation lead by Google Ventures, with Greycroft, The Chernin Group, Allen & Co, and Cris Conde also participating.
