Skyfire Labs Inc has announced $13 million in funding in a round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, and including previous investors Matrix Partners and Trinity Ventures (insert Matrix-related joke here).
The funds will be used for further rollout of Skyfire, launch outside the US, and for development of versions for more mobile handsets.
Skyfire is a mobile browser currently in private beta, and according to the folks from Skyfire Labs, it “offers users the complete PC browsing experience at blazing fast speeds, all on their mobile phones.” Funny, this is exactly what Opera is saying about their mobile browsers, Opera Mini and Opera Mobile; I’m really interested to see what novelties Skyfire will bring to the table once it gets out of private beta.
In the meantime, check out the demo of Skyfire which was shown at DEMO in January of 2008:
