The new investment will help further expand BoosterMedia’s HTML5 mobile games
distribution network internationally.
UTRECHT (The Netherlands) and HAMBURG (Germany) – February 8, 2012 –
BoosterMedia (www.boostermedia.com), the leading mobile browser games
distribution network, today has announced it has secured €1.75 million in a new
funding round. The round was led by Truffle Capital (Paris, France) and Solid
Ventures (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), two of the previous investors in the
company.
By providing mobile gaming destinations to online media and gaming brands,
BoosterMedia reaches a rapidly growing audience of gamers beyond the traditional
channels like the app-stores. With a focus on browser-based games, these brands
can offer their users an instant gaming experience, without having to send them away
to the Android Market or iPhone App Store. The latest funding will help BoosterMedia
further expand its mobile games distribution network worldwide.
“With this latest investment, we can further execute on our ambition to establish the
largest network for mobile browser-game distribution”, says CEO and Founder
Laurens Rutten. “Over the last year, we have seen a sharp increase in the quality of
HTML5 games that are available, including good mobile social games. We want to
provide developers a dedicated channel to reach mobile gamers in a new way.”
BoosterMedia will introduce significant enhancements to its mobile games distribution
platform at Casual Connect Europe. Important new features include game-to-platform
social integration, such as friend connections, virtual currencies, achievements and
leaderboards. Casual Connect is the premier event for the casual and social gaming
industry, taking place in Hamburg from February 7-9, 2012
