Nimbuzz raises $15 million for their accessibility mission
Remember my ‘Wow!’ post about Nimbuzz last May? The Dutch mobile VoIP and IM start-up then launched a VoIP app that was compatible with more than 500 handsets which allowed free calling in 50 countries. I received a couple of comments on this lyric post, mostly from people who wondered why they should say other mobile VoIP clients like Fring and Truphone goodbye, and start using Nimbuzz. I figured that yesterday’s announcement about their second round of funding – $15 million from a round led by Naspers/MIH and Mangrove (known from Skype) – was a good excuse to dive a little deeper in that.

Last time I wrote (“Nimbuzz, coming to an iPhone near you“) about Nimbuzz they were adding 10.000 new members a day. It is not even 4 weeks later and now they are adding 20.000 new members a day. It looks like Nimbuzz is on a roll!
