The size of the three investments were not disclosed, but I understand the investment comes from Intel’s $50 million Middle East and Turkey Fund.
For Jeeran and ShooFeeTV, this is actually the second financial boost provided by Intel Capital – both were originally funded in May 2009.
The investment in Nymgo, means Intel Capital firm has now expanded its portfolio in the ME region to a total of eight companies.
Nymgo launched in December 2008 and offers low-cost VoIP calling services. With over two million downloads, Nymgo says it serves customers in over 200 countries worldwide. Since its creation, Nymgo claims to have served over 300 million minutes of international calls.
With Intel’s help, Nymgo says it intends to accelerate infrastructure deployment, operations enhancement and global marketing.
