Wubud – mobile social network start-up – founded by serial entrepreneur Paul Walsh – has just announced its initial Angel round – from Paul Birch [of Bebo Fame].

We’ve been aware of Wubud for a while – and industry feedback is very positive on the product from this very secretive satrtup.

Given the level of Irish activity @ mobile sector – Wubud is a welcome development [and no doubt Paul will be setting up his European HQ in Wexford] – as it looks to target consumers directly and in-directly – and avoid the network operator purchasing cycles.
