The series A round comes after the China-based company was founded two years ago.

A unit of US-based media group International Data Group and China-based private equity firm Mingly China have reportedly backed China-based search marketing company Baifendian Technology with $7.2m.

The pair invested in the company’s series A round and Baifendian was founded in July 2009, according to news provider Pacific Epoch, which cited a report in qq.com.
