发帖数: 6262 | 1 American CEO of Singapore Startup First Meta Dies
Autumn Radtke, the American chief executive of Singapore-based virtual
currency company First Meta, has died according to Douglas Abrams, the
company’s director and non-executive chairman.
“I was informed by the Singapore police about her death,” Abrams told The
Wall Street Journal Thursday. “The cause of death is still under
investigation.”
Abrams said police yesterday told him that Radke, who was 28 years old, had
died but he was unable to provide additional information about the
circumstances of her death.
The company “is shocked and saddened by the tragic loss of our friend and
CEO Autumn Radtke,” said a brief statement Abrams provided later, which was
also posted on First Meta’s website.
An official in the Singapore Police Force’s public affairs department did
not immediately respond to a phone call or email requesting comment.
According to First Meta’s website, Radke moved to Singapore in January 2012
. Earlier, she worked in business development for Los Angeles-based mobile
platform company Geodelic Systems and Internet gaming community Xfire,
according to her LinkedIn profile.
First Meta provides an exchange where users can buy and sell virtual
currencies. Forbes reported in 2012 that the company received $466,000 in
funding from Sunnyvale, California-based business accelerator Plug and
Play Tech Center and Singapore’s National Research Foundation. |
