Synthasite raises $5m Series A investment round

November 17, 2007 by Vinny Lingham

Ok - so you wonder why things have been quiet on this blog? Apart from the fact that I’ve been at home for only 4 night this past 7 weeks - I’ve been busy with the all the background details around this announcement and the great news is that Synthasite has finalized an investment round of $5m from Swiss based Richemont. I’m at Geneva airport at the moment and I have to board my flight very soon - but wanted to get this message out quickly before I boarded. You can find the press release here for more information! Thanks to everyone for their support during our startup phase and for all the great feedback and ideas - every bit helped us get to this point!

Hey Vinny,

Sign into your MySpace account and send me a friends request when you get a chance. I just made my newest blog post about you , with our picture together from CJU 2006. My last name is "Drewry" when the friends request section asks you to enter my last name. I'll put you on my top friends when you sign in and send the request. I'll be back at CJU next year. I'll catch you then..:-)

Very good Vinny, although the hard work now begins. What valuation does this investment put on the company?
