Passado.com Finds A US VC For A €10M Round

Passado.com, a Myspace and Bebo-type online social network, has raised €10M to expand into UK, Russia and Italy, reports Reuters in London. The new investor is US-based Tudor Ventures, joined by earlier investor DFJ ePlanet.

The Passado business plan has been making the rounds in the VC market for a while we hear. It was initially a kind of Classmates.com or Friends Reunited type site in Germany, but it is now British-owned and offering blogs and other applications. It claims 5M registered users.

It's a bit unusual for Reuters to report a VC investment in a social networking startup, we're not sure what it means, if anything.
