Fabrice Grinda and OLX on TechCrunch

We at Abraham Harrison LLC are excited by the amazing coverage that OLX has been getting recently, especially since they�re our client and we�re responsible for their social media outreach and digital PR. I am especially blissed out that OLX made it into TechCrunch recently � Craigslist Competitor OLX Scores $5 Million For Online Classifieds � so please check it out and please be sure to read through the comments:

Craigslist
Competitor OLX Scores $5 Million For Online Classifieds

http://ping.fm/1JpQP

OLX,
the Craigslist for the rest of the world, has raised $5 million in funding from from Nexus Capital India. The company raised $13.5 million in Series B funding in April 2008 from General Catalyst Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners, Founders Fund and DN Capital, bringing the total funding raised to $28.5 million. OLX raised $13.5 million in Series B funding in April 2008 from the same investors as above, and raised an undisclosed Series A round of $10 million in September 2006 with the same VCs and various angels participating.

While the free classifieds site has trouble competing with Craigslist in the U.S., OLX has a strong user base internationally. With a presence in more than 87 countries in 39 languages, OLX�s popularity lies mainly in Spain, India, Portugal, Mexico, South America, China, and the Philippines.

Fabrice Grinda, founder and CEO of OLX says the new investment will be used to make new acquisitions, implement site improvements, expand globally, and pursue aggressive marketing initiatives. In 2007 OLX has made an investment in Edeng.cn, a Chinese free classifieds site and acquired Mundoanuncio.com, a Craigslist-like classifieds site targeting the Hispanic market, in 2006. Much of its success in the Philippines can be attributed to its white label partnership with Friendster. Its offices are also spread over the globe with 125 employees (OLX has added almost 35 employees since last year) working in New York, Buenos Aires, Beijing, and Moscow.

While OLX may play second fiddle to Craigslist in the U.S., the site prides itself on being a second-generation free classifieds site, complete with Web 2.0 features such as social network widgets, better search capabilities, interactive maps, and mobile functionality. Craigslist has recently been under scrutiny by Attorney Generals over prostitution and the �Craigslist Murder� that have taken place in conjunction with the site. eBay�s Kijiji is also a competitor in the space, but Kijiji has set its sights on catching up to Craigslist in the U.S., even considering a name change.

CrunchBase Information: OLX
Website: olx.com
Location: New York City, New York, United States
Founded: March, 2006
Funding: $23.5M

OLX provides online classifieds in many international versions, including those for India, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, and South America.

Fabrice Grinda and Alec Oxenford founded OLX because they wanted to improve on the offerings of Craigslist. They� Learn More

As
the saying goes, your good name is everything. Every individual, and brand, needs to know what their online reputation is and how to protect it. When your online reputation is in disrepair, whether because of bad behavior on your, or your brand�s, part, or because of intentional attacks by competitors or someone with a grudge, you sometimes have legal recourse. But you always have tactics you can undertake online to protect your reputation.

Find out how to determine what your online reputation already is, how to promote and maintain a good reputation, and how to protect and defend it in the future. We�ll cover issues like:

* What are people saying about me online? And Why Should I Care?
* Crisis Management
* Proactive Steps to Defend Against Future Attacks
* How to activate Google and other search engines in your favor

and more.
