Posted by Lee Wilkins | Filed under: Startups, Why
Below is a copy of the press release we sent out today regarding the sale of CeeVee.com to Lateral.
Bucharest, 14th of January 2010 Wilkins Lee Creative announces today that it has successfully completed the sell of CeeVee.com to Lateral Romania. Ceevee.com is a platform focused on developing an online tool that simplifies the building and maintaining of CVs/Resumes online.
CeeVee.com was launched on the local market just 6 months ago and experienced a huge growth ever since. Most recently, the CeeVee.com team has been working to keep up with the international demands.
Lee Wilkins, General Director Wilkins Lee Creative: “After many discussions with Lateral representatives focused on a future collaboration, we were impressed with the speed of their developments and their understanding of our business. Thus, what originally started as a partnership ended up as a buyout. Lateral Romania shares the same passion and drive that we have for Ceevee.com, but has a lot more resources on board and expertise in the job market. Wilkins Lee Creative will stay on board until the migration completes and will continue to offer advice going forward.”
Filip Chereches-Tosa, Partner at Lateral Romania: “We are delighted to bring Ceevee.com to our portfolio. The acquisition of CeeVee brings to the table the missing piece from our job related products. Ever since we started www.jobberbase.com and job-job.co.uk we felt we needed a compelling way to allow people to create and share CVs and offer this information to companies in a structured and machine-readable way. By means of this acquisition, CeeVee users have now access to targeted job offers and our partners and the open source community to many other services in a machine-readable format.”
