FreedomPop Inc., the Wi-Fi-based wireless carrier backed by Skype co-founder Niklas Zennstrom, said it has raised $30 million in funding led by Partech Ventures.
The funding includes existing backers DCM Capital and Mangrove Capital as well as an unnamed strategic investor, FreedomPop said Wednesday in a statement. The startup talked with six potential buyers, then opted to raise a new funding round, Chief Executive Officer Stephen Stokols said in an interview.
