It’s a multi-million dollar coup and another feather in the cap for Singapore-based video site Viddsee.com (http://www.viddsee.com), the hybrid online video platform that specialises in showcasing Asian short films and indie cinema. The Singapore start-up has raised US$2.3 million (S$3.27 million) to date, after bringing Japan-based CyberAgent Ventures (CAV) in as lead investor in its latest round of funding to develop the new wave of mobile-powered cinema, starting with Asia.

We are confident that technology will facilitate the new wave for cinematic content in the online video space, especially in markets like Indonesia where mobile devices are the first touch points to the Internet for many.”
