Today, I’m proud to announce that Reinet Fund<\/a> has just invested $20 million into SynthaSite<\/a>, securing our future and enabling us to continue to build our business model and product offering.\u00a0 This is a massive vote of confidence in SynthaSite, and we owe it to each and every one of you in our user community.\u00a0 Our future is bright and, with your support, we will continue to make a difference in the world!<\/p>\n

When we began building SynthaSite, we sought to create a company whose product would change the lives of millions of people by giving them a voice online.\u00a0 We wanted to provide the opportunity for anyone anywhere to build a website that would achieve their unique goals, from starting a small business to showcasing their achievements.<\/p>\n

In 2007, we raised $5 million in venture capital and moved our headquarters to San Francisco, keeping a good portion of our technical team in Cape Town, South Africa.\u00a0 Since then, SynthaSite has grown from just a handful of people to more than 40 individuals in both offices, supporting over one million users.\u00a0 Our support forum is one of the most active on GetSatisfaction’s network, and our recent “Best of SynthaSite” contest<\/a> attracted more than 1,000 entrants.\u00a0 This level of success could only be achieved thanks to the dedication of both our user community and our staff.<\/p>\n

I’m unbelievably excited about the future of SynthaSite and look forward to building on our success in helping you and many others reach their potential online.\u00a0 These past 15 months have just been the beginning…<\/p>\n

Thank you for all your support.<\/p>\n
