Six co-founders, including Jon Flint, co-founder and general partner at Polaris, and inventor Robert Langer, professor and serial entrepreneur at MIT's Langer Labs Living Proof, launched Living Proof in 2004 to change how hair behaves using patented new molecules.

In March 2011, Living Proof, formerly known as Andora, raised $16m in its B round following a $9m A round in 2009, according to its regulatory filing.

Venture capital firm Jungle Ventures, which is backed with Singapore government money, invested alongside Innov8.

Venture capital firm East Ventures was the other investor in Le-Le-Le besides Dena's Incubate Fund, according to news provider Cnet Japan.

UK-based fashion trade blog Business of Fashion has raised $2.1m in seed funding led by Index Ventures and including LVMH.

DuMont Venture and CatCap had bought into Solegro, which was founded by Nils Regge, in March 2010.

Just three months after raising $400m, China-based, DST Global-backed website 360Buy has raised $700m.
