Sam Flemming's CIC got investment



Sam Flemming announced today that his 3-year old company CIC (do not mix it up with the other one from the central government) focusing on the internet word on mouth.
I can see why Sam is a happy guy, since it is not only about the money coming in, also about the team:
The team is led by Marc van der Chijs, co-founder of Tudou (the investment has NO relationship to Tudou). Individuals in the group have experience in Internet Word of Mouth (IWOM) industry in the West, raising capital in China, taking Chinese companies IPO, Chinese online gaming as well as experience in more traditional industries within China. Marc in particular has been an incredible mentor and help to me, well before our formal relationship was confirmed. I feel so fortunate to find an investor that is so honest, ethical and all in all a “top shelf guy” (as we say in America).
Sam Flemming is also a speaker at Chinabiz Speakers.
