Stealthy mobile content services developer IQzone has raised $3.8 million of a proposed $6.8 million second round of funding, per an SEC filing. VP of business development John Kuolt confirmed the funding, but did not disclose where the new investment came from, or when the company expects to close the full round. A filing from 2007 shows that IQzone’s first round — worth roughly $1.1. million — was backed by Dallas-based Oak Stream Investors, as well as a number of private investors.
IQzone’s first product is PicDial, a mobile contact-organizer that pulls in status updates and photos from various social networks. The company does deals directly with carriers, making the billing and payment process “much simpler” Kuolt said; carriers bill subscribers for PicDial every month. IQzone initially launched PicDial with AT&T (NYSE: T) exclusively; the company expanded to T-Mobile just this week. Founded in 2006, Scottsdale, Ariz.-based IQzone has roughly 30 employees, including tech contractors.
