SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/07/07 -- Flurry, a leading creator of mobile applications and services, announced the close of $3.75 million Series A funding. The company launched a mobile email and RSS service for consumers in early 2006 and will use the funding to accelerate growth and adoption of the service, enhance the product and expand the management team. Draper Fisher Jurvetson and Draper Richards joined initial angel investor Borealis Ventures to fund the round.

Flurry's free service allows consumers to access email and RSS news feeds using standard mobile phones. The flexible and easy-to-use application works with more than 500 different phone models worldwide and is supported by more than 700 different carriers and 7,000 email providers.

Jennifer Fonstad of DFJ will join Flurry's Board of Directors. "The entire investor group is excited about the vision and the early momentum created by Flurry's founders. The enthusiasm we have seen from early users of the application is an indication of the significant worldwide business opportunity ahead."

Flurry is used in more than 200 countries, and is offered directly to consumers from Flurry's web site. Flurry users can easily manage and control their preferences, email accounts and RSS subscriptions using their PC or WAP browser, enabling them to access and act on their data using their mobile phone.

"Our vision is to enable all people -- even the vast majority who don't use expensive smart phones -- to experience the benefits of next-generation mobile applications," said Sean Byrnes, chief executive officer of Flurry, Inc. "Now everyone can have the convenience of mobile messaging solutions without the expense and complexity of traditional approaches."
