Mobile Portal Startup Texomobile To Raise New Capital

texomobilev-final-small.jpg
Neteco is reporting that Texomobile, the French startup behind mobile portal i-Gloo, is starting to meet investors in advance of launching a new multilingual portal called iGloo World.

In Neteco's interview with founder, Vianney Settini, we read about how the company's i-mode roots enable it to offer an apparently popular, and operator-independent portal, aggregating a blog platform, its own dating site, video publishing service, search directory, among other services.

It recently launched a service called myigloo that lets users create their own mobile homepages, which is why it can justify being called the Netvibes for your mobilephone, we guess. This year it opened an office in New York and has been doing some mobile advertising campaigns for Screentonic (recently acquired by Microsoft).

The startup resulted from the merger of two ventures -- three year old BeMobs and Ater Studio.
