We originally raised around USD$1.2M, however we are not solely focused on Minti. We have concentrated on the platform and are launching other verticals (have launched Refurber, and another vertical is soon to be launched), plus we are also licensing out our vibEngine platform (BuildingInLondon is already live and 2 big ones are in the pipeline).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kindest&lt;br&gt;Clay Cook&lt;br&gt;Minti Co-Founder&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Clay Cook</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Aug 2007 19:33:35 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
