Social Media Broadcasts (SMB), a Hong Kong-based web development company and the creator of social media analytics software Klarity, has recently announced raising US$1 million in a round with 500 Startups.
Other investors include Danny Yeung, a serial entrepreneur, investor and an early angel investor into one of APAC’s hottest companies KFit, and Yat Siu, another well-known Hong Kong-based investor and CEO of Outblaze.
“Many businesses still consider social data as a point of concern and confusion. We pride ourselves by helping customers break this barrier to make the data meaningful and provide insights,” said Christopher Wong, CEO, SMB, in an official statement.
The capital will be used to further improve the company’s flagship product, Klarity.
