Congratulations to the teams at two of our portfolio companies, ViKi and Animoca, for raising their next round of funding.

On 20 Oct, ViKi announced that it had raised US$20 million from strategic partners SK Planet, BBC Worldwide and existing investors, Neoteny included. To date, the company has raised a total of US$24.3 million. Joi blogged about our investment in ViKi almost a year ago and have been actively involved on its board since. All of us chipped in, but in the end, the ultimate kudos goes to Razmig and his team for growing the international video site to more than 10 million viewers and translators, with shows translated into more than 150 languages; can’t wait to see how much further ViKi can go with the new content they have licensed from BBC Worldwide, NBC Universal, A+E Networks International, HISTORY and BIO.
