We’re excited to announce our $20M Series A round lead by General Catalyst. The round also brought together some of the largest video game companies in the world including Electronic Arts , krafton, Take-Two Interactive, Ubisoft, Mixi — with continued support from Supercell, Miniclip, Riot Games and COLOPL.
New investors also include Konvoy Ventures, OneTeam Ventures, Velo Partners, Golden Venture Partners, Alven Capital Partner — with continued support from London Venture Partners, Northzone and Streamlined Ventures.
Niko Bonatsos with General Catalyst is joining London Venture Partners on our board. We are ecstatic to have the guidance of great minds in both consumer social; and gaming on our board.
This is another step towards our journey to build the cross-game social layer where friends come together to play their favorite games.
We’re thankful to my amazing co-founders Jason Liang, Jordan Howlett; and the the rest of our team that continue to work hard to make Bunch better, every day. Lastly, we are excited to welcome Guy Cross to our team as head of partnerships — where he previously headed games partnerships for North America at Facebook.
