fring raises Series C round
Mobile VoIP and IM provider fring announced Thursday it has received a Series C round of funding from previous investors, but did not specify the amount of the investment, only saying it was"significant." fring is attempting to meld VoIP service with social media and IM, allowing users to aggregate data from Facebook and Twitter, while also offering Skype, MSN, GoogleTalk, Yahoo!, and AIM in a central user interface.
The company plans to use the funding round to continue to add support for communications platforms and devices, and to add other features.
"With this new funding round we will accelerate the realization of our ongoing commitment to make fring even more accessible, relevant and easy to use, therefore reducing practical barriers for mainstream users as well as third-party developers and partners who have expressed continued interest in fring and the fring platform," said Avi Shechter, fring co-founder and CEO, in a statement.
