- One man, many ventures (too many?), Bahu.com Gets $1M (or was it € 3 Million?):
European social network Bahu has raised $1M in its first round of funding. The company says that Bahu differentiates itself from other social networks by focusing on users talents and helping to showcase them.
Bahu.com will now be headed by Oleg Tscheltzoff (Fotolia, CitizenBay, Wixi ...) who becomes president and also by Ouriel Ohayon, Techcrunch.fr editor who becomes 'director' and member of the board.
Bahu was launched in July and claims to already have over 300,000 international users and to have experienced 15M page views in November.
