\"\"I’m glad to announce I have invested in Sonico<\/a>, the fastest growing social network in Latin America and Brazil, with now more then 17 million users after less than a year from its launch. Sonico helps users connect with their real friends, share photos and videos and other information, with a focus on security and privacy.<\/p>\n

Sonico announced today a $4.3 million Series A financing round, led by DN Capital and by investors such as Fabrice Grinda<\/a> (founder of Aucland, Zingy.com and OLX<\/a>), Alec Oxenford<\/a> (DeRemate<\/a> and OLX<\/a>) and myself.<\/p>\n

Rodrigo Teijeiro, Sonico’s founder and fellow from Argentine, is leading an amazing team of more then 90 people, that in the last few years have built great products like Flodeo<\/a> or cumplealerta<\/span><\/a>, and now Sonico<\/a>, capable of attracting millions of users at a rate that only Facebook could match, although not in Latin America, where Sonico is generally growing faster, also competing with MySpace, Hi5 and Orkut<\/span>. According to Comscore, in Argentina Sonico has more than six times the number of users Facebook has.<\/p>\n
