Lightspeed Seeds Israel's BP For Fantasy Sports Network

Top French blogger & VC Ouriel Ohayon over at LightSpeed Gemini internet lab checks in to flag his firm's investment in BP Interactive Technologies. Based in Israel, but set-up in the British Virgin Islands, BP will launch a fantasy sports network in 2007 called Playspex.
