Neuralitic pulls in $3M for data service analytics
Blackberry Partners Fund has provided a $3 million investment to Neuralitic, a company that analyzes how people use data services on their mobile phones — from email and games to video and web surfing. It joins BDC Venture Capital, GO Capital Fund and Vertex Venture Capital in a now $10 million second-round of funding for Neuralitic.
This is the fourth startup Blackberry’s fund has backed since its own founding in May 2008. Neuralitic says the money should boost its credibility in the field, making it easier to recruit carriers and clients to work with. Because it provides analysis that could help its clients better serve their customers, it might actually weather the downturn a bit better than other startups in the mobile space.
