iSkoot lines up with Skype and Khosla
November 28th, 2006 by hubcapper
Om Malik reports that Khosla Ventures has made a $6.2 million investment in iSkoot, a Cambridge based mobile VoIP startup we reported on last month. Khosla Ventures is the investment vehicle of Vinod Khosla, former partner at VC powerhouse Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield, Byers and co-founder of Sun Microsystems.
In addition, iSkoot announced in mid-November that it had partnered with eBay subsidiary Skype to offer a Skype-branded VoIP service pre-installed on Nokia and Sony Ericsson handsets from mobile operator 3 Group.
iSkoot’s client software allows users to access the Skype service from their handsets. The software provides an IM-style buddy list on the handset, allowing users to make unlimited free calls via peer-to-peer networks.
