Ne parla l’ultimo post sul blog di Fring. La startup israeliana afferma di aver appena concluso un nuovo round per finanziare la propria crescita (e sviluppare il business, ad esempio con la pubblicità), tuttavia per far fronte al rallentamento dell’economia, come molte startups, si è trovata costretta a licenziare parte del suo team, per ridurre i costi ed assicurarsi che i fondi a disposizione possano durare fintantoché i mercati non si saranno ripresi.

fring has experienced several months of unprecedented growth. We are continuing to develop and grow the fring community and services way ahead of expectation, and even though the world is experiencing tough times, we are now adding 400,000 new fringsters every month, and have some very exciting product announcements to make very soon.

However, in an attempt to continue to provide our award winning service to the millions of fringsters worldwide, and at the same time remain flexible to cope with any challenges the global economic slowdown throws us, we have restructured some of our operations at fring HQ.

Part of this means that few of our co-workers are leaving us. They have all contributed huge amounts to the success of fring to date; we owe them enormous gratitude and wish them all the best in their future careers.

The fring team is 110% committed to continuing fring’s phenomenal success. We have just finalized a latest round of investment; our current investors are fully supportive and very optimistic about fring’s future. So, whilst some tough decisions have been taken, we now have a real sense of confidence that we will be prepared and even better positioned to achieve and exceed our goals of delivering you the world’s best mobile internet community and communications service available.
