Ecrio Closes $24 Million Investment Round

(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
Ecrio, a provider of real-time communications and commerce software for
mobile phones, announced the completion of its 'C' investment round,
which exceeded U.S. $24 million dollars.

CSK, JAIC, and Nomura Securities, all global firms which closely track
the wireless industry, joined Aplix, NTT DoCoMo, Visa, and current
investor Noventi/CIR Ventures in the round. JAIC will add a director to
Ecrio's board, joining members from Nexit Ventures, Noventi/CIR
Ventures, and Ecrio.

"Ecrio's recent string of good news, including the continued rollout of
Ecrio-powered 3G handsets in Japan; the launch of MoBeam for mobile
barcodes; and Ecrio's development work on Visa's mobile payment
platform; made this a prime opportunity to attract additional funding,
" said Nagesh Challa, Ecrio's chairman and CEO. "The additional
resources allow us to pursue a wide range of strategic opportunities,
from increases to our sales, technical and marketing staff, to
enhancing our product line through partnership or acquisition."
