Employees Take Part In USD 1 Million Fund Raising
Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief
In a strong vote of confidence in their business, a number of Pixman employees have put their own money on the table and invested in a USD 1 million new funding round. Whilst the individual amounts of the investment from people inside the company is relatively small, it all adds up (see official statement below) but as we say, shows significant faith in the business model and the enterprise itself.
Pixman are starting to be a lot more aggressive in their expansion and we have seen a number of brands take up their weareable media (and other) offers, especially in emerging markets – Tunisia, Morocco etc.
