€3.2 million for Weblicon

Berlin-based Weblicon Technologies has secured a second round of financing worth €3.2 million. Peppermint Financial Partners led the deal, also investing were Belgacom Multimedia Ventures (corporate VC of the Belgian telecommunications company) and IBB Beteiligungsgesellschaft, a subsidiary of the Investitionsbank Berlin.

Weblicon is a producer and distributor of solutions for “personal information management” (PIM): Software applications for the management and synchronisation of personal data on mobile and handheld devices, pocket and desktop PCs. Both the key products, Weblicon and Calmeno, are based on open industry standards such as IMAP, LDAP and SyncML, thus making them applicable on all standard devices (Palm PDAs, MS Outlook). Clients of the company include Mobilkom Austria and berlin.de. Weblicon was founded in June 2000. Last year, Peppermint provided the company with a seed investment of €1.5 million.
