Today I met wit Ian Hayward & Willem-Jan Schutte from Glaxstar at the LundKenner office in Copenhagen. Glaxstar is the biggest commercial developer of Firefox extensions and are responsible for the very successful Spread Firefox campaign. Ian & Willem are great guys and we have some very interesting projects to work on together ahead of us.

Meeting with Chinese Entrepreneurs

After a great full-packed week, I am off to China for a Maxthon board meeting as well as speaking at Chinese Entrepreneurs, at the Capitol Club, Beijing. I am going to speak on the topic, " The Creation of Maxthon - Challenges and experiences in taking a small Chinese company global" together with my good friend Yuzhu Xiong, VP at WI Harper (Maxthon investor). I am really looking forward to meet up and mingle other Chinese Entrepreneurs (well, I am not really Chinese..). Will hopefully be able to share some experiences from this event later on next week.

If you are in Beijing on August 1st and want to come, please register here.

Busy Days Ahead

Have an intensive period ahead (when is it never?) first to California for a week and then straight on to Beijing. Maxthon is entering into a very intensive period, staffing up in Beijing on the development side to deliver more frequent releases of Maxthon 1.x, speed up the development of  Maxthon 2.0 and release a bunch of useful plugin's.

A lot is cooking and hopefully you will all see the result of this over the next couple of months. I will also be visiting our new office in Beijing and will try to take some pictures that I can share with you.

Off To California

I’m off to Palo Alto, California for a week full of interesting meetings with potential partners and entrepreneurs. I know that blogging has been a bit thin lately, we’ve just been so busy gearing up for with new projects etc. However, I will do my best to report on anything noteworthy of reporting. We will also be launching a new service on Monday next week so stay tuned for that…
