No it didn't. The funding came from multiple investors, not the CEO himself.

The CEO of Mobli is not the CEO/founder of Yo.

Also:

So there are multiple investors, not a single one.

Multiple can mean "2." It could b 99% from the one angel and a $1000 from the CEO's mom, dad, siblings, etc.

Correct, yet totally besides the point. Instead of what "could be", do a search and find that it were more than 2 investors, and that Hogeg lead the round and invested 200k (of the 1.2 million).

Searched around and haven't found anything to indicate that.

Hogeg's angel fund (the only identified investor) may have multiple people in it, but they could all be _his_ friends and family.
