DISQUS

i think they are moving in the right direction. but having said that, the hardcore fans will still be torrenting some of their content but i think with gradual education crunchyroll will grow.

eventually they may get into the other parts of the anime eco system, from conferences to toys/merchandise.

kudos to the tagged team to be profitable and raise a 5m debt to shore up for a couple of bumpy years. although a little crowded in terms of SNS space but I think post post april 09, the cash rich online/media maybe on the prowl, good time to chat about a trade sale but with the 5m infusion and a steady or growing net profit, they are probably not in a rush.

at least something innovative (however it maybe) for the community...
would love to see what the entries are like

any idea what are their plans here in spore?

congrats to garena for landing a great investor.
although i think the space is a little crowded but i think there is room to grow.
would love to know more about the next round of financing requirements.

any luck with tamarix?

Well said.

Home grown ICT sector in Singapore is regretfully small and has few venture successes.
The real innovations pretty much will come from individuals who are already entrepreneurs or about to become one or hidden within research institutes. You really need a set of investors who have seen the majority of the dealflow out there in the universe plus being a little more optimistic and less risk adverse than most to make this effort even remotely workable.

NRF may not have an IRR target in mind but a national agenda to "develop". Hence patience is indeed the word well said.
