gNumber Inc. secured $1.5 million in venture funding. Accent Texas Fund I, L.P. led the round with participation from Aegis Texas Venture Fund, DFJ Mercury, and Gefinor Ventures. Funding will be used to expand marketing and product development for UnWired Buyer, a real-time mobile bidding solution for eBay users in the U.S.
UnWired Buyer is a free, eBay-compatible application that allows users to bid on eBay listings using any mobile or landline phone. Three minutes before the end of a selected auction-style listing, UnWired Buyer places a call to the user. The user is provided with dynamically updated status on an item, including real- time changes in price status. UnWired Buyer users can place new bids or increase previous bids instantly using simple touch-tone commands.
