Foreign
Investors Start Putting Funds in
Ukrainian Internet.
The business magazine "Kompanyon" reports
that SputnikMedia.net, the leading Ukrainian Internet company, claimed
selling shares to the foreign group of institutional and private investors
worth $500, 000. The Dragon Capital Bank, that is one of the biggest
investment banks in Ukraine, will provide the basic financial support
and further financial consulting to the company. The funds will be
used to increase the company's staff, to procure equipment and cover
marketing expenses. "This investment is a sign of not only our company's
support but also of all the Ukrainian internet", stated Jed Sunden,
the director of SputnicMedia.net, "and it indicates that the Ukrainian
Internet business is serious and lucrative".

Camille Gotsa
(Êàì³ë Ãîöà), the director's board member at the Dragon Capital, concurs
with the aforementioned notion. "As far as other branches of industry
are concerned, the Western attitude towards Ukraine leaves much too
be desired from. However, when it comes to the Internet people realize
that the same dynamics as in Central and Western Europe are applicable
here," pointed out Mr. Gotsa.
In September six web projects stationed
at SputnikMedia.net registered 1,36 million visitors that made the
company a leading web-site operator. The recent launch of the horizontal
bigmir.net portal is supposed to increase the number of the web-site
visitors. |
