Creating strong client partnerships.
Realising bold client ambitions.
Since its foundation, Picsel has met and exceeded the expectations of some of the industry's most demanding investors. In 2001, we secured first round funding totalling $11m from SOFTBANK Europe Ventures and BancBoston Capital.
In 2002, second-round venture funding totalling $6m was secured from a consortium of Japanese investors including Yasuda Enterprise, CSK Ventures, Mizuho Bank and the Morito family - the first time that any of these had invested outside of Japan.
In 2004, we attracted a large non-equity loan agreement with Malaysia Debt Ventures Berhad, the finance arm of the Malaysian Government.
Most recently, Capital International Private Equity Fund IV acquired a $46.5 million equity share capital in Picsel. In the same funding round, DCM, NIF, SMBC Ventures Co., Ltd. and SBI Investment Co have all invested in Picsel's exciting future, while DoCoMo.com, a subsidiary wholly owned by NTT DoCoMo, Inc, has also become a shareholder in the company.
