Investors in Seed Funding the International Family Network Kindo


Press Release Body: LONDON -February 7, 2008- Kindo today announced funding from
Ambient Sound Investments (ASI), adding experience to an already impressive list of
seed investors. The Estonian investment company will provide financial and advisory
support for the fast-growing family network, and will help to grow Kindo\'s global
footprint.

ASI joins a strong team of seed investors including Saul and Robin Klein of The

seen so far: \"In the short time since they\'ve been live, Kindo has proven that they
know how to build a product that can be embraced by young and old alike. It is
already loved by families around the world, which is what appealed to us the most.\"

Companies such as Facebook and LinkedIn have proven that social networks are useful
