iamasia Secures Investment

Internet research and measurement specialist iamasia is to receive significant funding from techpacific.com to help accelerate the firm's development.

Founded in 1999, iamasia was the first company to deliver panel-based Internet measurement in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. This new investment by techpacific.com, part of iamasia's second round of financing, will enable the further development of new products such as custom panels and online surveys, as well as continued pan-Asian expansion.

The techpacific.com Group has taken a strategic stake in iamasia as part of the group's strategy to build a portfolio of invested partners with established business models, clear market leadership and potential for significant growth. Chris Leahy, Managing Director, techpacific Corporate Finance, will become a non-executive member of iamasia's Board of Directors. "We have been very impressed with iamasia's ability to gain significant traction since inception, with an outstanding client portfolio, a strong management team and a powerful brand. In a short space of time, iamasia has established itself as Asia's clear market leader in an important and growing industry. We look forward to working closely with iamasia's management to strengthen further the company's market leadership."
