BiggerBoat, calling itself the “Entertainment Search Engine”, will be launching in beta later this month, and has received an undisclosed amount of funding from Zone Ventures and First Round Capital.

LA-based Biggerboat search through entertainment content online: text, audio and video, and presents it in a comparison-shopping like grid. It’s idea to monetize: like others, contextual ad network across its search site, and its distributors (for instance, it has tied up with All Media Guide to syndicate its advertising across AllMusic.com and AllMovie.com).
