I am very proud to announce that one of the leading US venture capital firms, Charles River Ventures, has invested in Maxthon. Ever since we received the Red Herring Asia 100 award, we have been in the quite unusual situation of being pitched by VC’s (and not the other way around) from all over. But not until I met Bill Tai, general partner at CRV, I felt the real “click”. CRV are not only one of the oldest and best performing US VCs’, they also have a very deep network and share our passion and vision for where the future of the web is going. I feel very fortunate of being able to work with Bill and the rest of the team at CRV, together with our early investors Morten Lund (first Skype seed investor) and San Francisco & Beijing based WI Harper to take Maxthon to the next level.
The full PR can be found here. The Red Herring has a nice article about it here. Techcrunch has a great post here and Om Malik here.
Congrats !
