SMS Games' Frengo Launches With Funding From Index and Khosla
In August 2006 Frengo completed a seed round of $2.3M led by Index Ventures, Khosla Ventures and angel investors like Saar Gur. Frengo has a partnership with Boost Mobile. The company is led by a group of people who all seem to have worked at Verisign.
Frengo combines two venture trends: content for mobile messaging and contests.
The initial release includes familiar online contests:
+ Mobile versions of Fantasy Football.
+ Entertainment-based contests such as “Celebrity Lies” where members win points for spotting the truth among a pack of lies.
+ Posting of content comments and pictures to MySpace pages from a mobile phone.
