I’ve been wondering almost all of these events involve the same companies again and again. Does it mean that some of these ‘startups’ are essentially running on a parade round, presumably against different sets of investors, continually nominated but not never quite closing their funding rounds?
Can anyone explain why that is?
Congrats to everyone but isn’t Mysellr a Swedish company? I don’t mean just the shareholders but seems to me the site just expanded it’s focus to Indonesia.
MySellr is an Indonesian company, founded by an Indonesian dude in Sweden.
