Frengo, a mobile social play network for people on the go, announced that it has closed $5.7 million in Series A financing. The Trilogy Partnership, founded by several pioneers in the mobile communications industry, led the round. This Series A financing follows a $2.3 million seed round closed in August 2006 which was led by Khosla Ventures and Index Ventures. Both firms participated in this round.

Turning an ordinary cell phone into a fun and effective mobile social networking platform, Frengo is the first mobile messaging service designed specifically for friends and communities, allowing them to easily interact in a one-to-many fashion. “Our focus is on enabling a large portfolio of content appealing to a broad audience and building on users’ desire to stay connected to each other and have fun on their phone,” said Mahi de Silva, CEO of Frengo.
