Social Network ModelKarma.com with successful fundraising
1st of August, New York/ Frankfurt - ModelKarma.com ('ModelKarma'), the
world's largest online community and a virtual agency for both aspiring and
established models, successfully accomplished a fundraising in the amount
of EUR 500,000 with Business Angels and the Frankfurt based VC Investor
Impera Total Return AG.
ModelKarma (www.modelkarma.com) got founded in 2010 and since then gathered
globally more than 15,000 registered models in the USA, Europa and Asia.
Additionally, a joint venture with Jinti (http://mk.jinti.com), one of the
largest Chinese social networks with more than 35 million users could be
agreed on to successfully cover the fast growing Chinese market as
first-mover. Focusing on models, model management and fashion, ModelKarma
is positioned in a globally highly demanded niche. With Thomas Zeumer as
Co-Founder and CEO of ModelKarma, a true industry titan, previous founder
of Metropolitan New York and top model manager with a two decade long track
record of amongst others Heidi Klum, Eva Herzigova, Claudia Schiffer and
many more top models, is in charge of the operational development of the
company. Combining the classical agency business and the interactive social
network approach as a freemium platform, long-term recurring revenues are
the sound financial target of the company. End of the third quarter,
ModelKarma is expected to already launch its premium platform under
www.modelkarma.com which is going to replace the current beta version.
About ModelKarma
ModelKarma is the first integrated online and offline provider of modeling
agency services. Founded in 2010 by Thomas Zeumer, the agency's
headquarters are in New York. Launched in beta in August 2010, ModelKarma
is a new concept to help both novice and professional female models start
or advance their careers. Zeumer himself became frustrated, knowing that
many women outside New York, Paris and fashion capitals could become
models-but they often lacked the knowledge, connections and opportunity to
be discovered.
ModelKarma.com allows models and aspiring models to sign up for an account.
Basic membership is free and lets members upload photos in order to promote
and expose themselves to industry professionals and clients on a global
base, and be discovered by Thomas Zeumer himself. For more information,
