Skyfire was founded in April 2006 by Nitin Bhandari and Erik Swenson, who serve as Chief Product Officer and Chief Technology Officer respectively. Our team is proud to have built the fastest mobile web browser, and the only mobile browser to support all the rich media on the web. We’ve just begun and have plenty on our roadmap to continue delighting our users.
We are backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Matrix Partners and Trinity Ventures and have raised $22.8 million in funding.
