"We wanted more international exposure and a progressive VC - and that is exactly what Wellington, through Eric Archambeau, is delivering."

| The leading European online business network |
XING (formerly OpenBC) is a pioneer in social networking software for business professionals looking to find useful contacts, important information, new business opportunities, employees, jobs and ideas. The XING network can be accessed around the world by Internet, mobile phone or PDA. Access is via subscription. Due to its early profitability, XING has only needed one financing round to make the company fit for an IPO – and this round was led by Wellington. In December 2006, the Company became one of the first listed Web 2.0 companies in the world; XING made a successful IPO on Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
