Startup onomondo started out as Hello World Mobile, a startup aiming to change the mobile world. The three founders announced the name change yesterday, as well as a funding of € 1.2 million.
The funding is from Danish Sealand Capital and the Market Development Fund. The aim is to take the unique mobile routing technology from onomondo to market.
“We are first in the world to crack the code on how to eliminate technical roaming between mobile networks.”
– explains Michael Bak, CEO & Co-Founder of onomondo,
“We are extremely happy to have found the right investor to help us bring the technology global.”
“As private consumers we all know the consequences of roaming when we are vacation abroad. To prevent it from becoming an expensive experience, many people choose to turn their phone off completely. With onomondo’s technology roaming can be eliminated completely with great benefits for the consumer, and with great untapped potential for the operators.”
