Participating at the moment are investors from Germany (United Internet), France (Crdit Agricole Private Equity) and Scandinavia (Investment AB Kinnevik).

It is interesting to see in this context how enduring the Samwers sometimes controversial past still sticks, especially in light of the several widely praised and well respected American investors and entrepreneurs (MySpace, Zappos, etc.) who also made their first big breaks with business models with hints of dubiousness. A good source for following the American pioneers sins of youth is Viral Loop from Adam L. Penenberg.
