Mitsui invests in Feedster

Japanese business conglomerate Mitsui has invested an undisclosed amount of money in Feedster. Mitsui has 723 subsidiaries ranging from steel production to medical spas.

Update: It looks like Scott Rafer, former CEO of Feedster, has left the company perhaps as a contingency of the Mitsui deal or of his own will.
