SingTel Innov8, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the SingTel Group, led the round, making it the first investment by the corporate venture capital fund since its launch in September 2010. In addition to its investment in 2359 Media, the two companies have agreed to work together on projects of mutual interest that will bring value to their customers. NUS Enterprise also participated in this investment round.

Founded in 2009, 2359 Media is looking to further the development of their core product, MobDis, as well as expand its distribution to the US market within the next quarter. MobDis is an HTML5-based mobile advertisement creation platform that allows marketers and designers to rapidly create, publish and share engaging mobile advertisements. 2359 Media received its initial funding from the Young Entrepreneurs Scheme for Start-Ups (Yes! Start-ups), a funding scheme initiated by SPRING Singapore and was incubated under NUS Enterprise Incubator.

“This investment represents a major milestone for 2359 Media as we make the transition from a promising early-stage technology startup into a commercial enterprise facing a growing global mobile advertising market,” said 2359 Media Co-founder Zhou Wen Han. “We are very excited as this proves the value MobDis brings in terms of innovating the way brands advertise on mobile.” The company has already begun hiring for a new office in US, scheduled to be operational by March 2011.

Plans for expansion to the US market is but a first step in the overall strategy to provide MobDis a global reach. “We look forward to achieving our vision of connecting brands and organizations to consumers whenever and wherever they are, by leveraging on the reach and infrastructure of our investors to help accelerate growth and solidify our presence in the global mobile advertising space,” said 2359 Media Co-founder Wong Hong Ting. “We welcome SingTel Innov8 and NUS Enterprise in supporting the business and providing the opportunity to push MobDis to overseas markets.”

We are all here on the earth way to briefly. In our own way, we do touch some people around us but most of the time we are way to worry about getting own problems. If you can live 2010 again, how would you change it? What will you do to make it more remarkable?

Unfortunately, 2010 will over in a couple of hours as I write this. You will then only have 365 so days to make your mark in the year 2011. There will be another 2011, so make the best of it.

“How?” you might ask.

I am a firm believer of if you set your mind to it, you can achieve it. Most people just get distracted along the way. How many time, you write a long list of resolutions and forget about it a month later? How many goals did you set last year and you did not achieve a single one?

Make a difference for 2011. Look back at 2010 and find only ONE thing in your life to improve for 2011. Focus on that ONE thing and write it down. Because, we are constantly faced with so many distractions, write it in not more than 140 characters (ala twitter).

Post it online, post it on our Facebook page, declare it to the world. Write it in a small card and bring that everywhere to remind yourself what the focus of 2011 should be. Look at the card every morning when you wake up, every time you are free and before you go to sleep.

Focus on that very one thing and work towards achieving it. You will then have stop goal setting and just started Goal Getting.
