TechCrunch: “Nextpeer, Which Brings Multiplayer Mode To Mobile Games, Comes To Android”

Aug 20, 2013 | ,

Leading technology website, TechCrunch, featured OurCrowd portfolio company Nextpeer as it  launches on Android after racking up about 10 million monthly actives in its network on iOS. The company started off slowly with barely just a handful of titles until a game earlier this year called ‘A Bike Race of Ninja Temple’ took off. Then they started racking up titles quickly, reaching about 2,000 games in the network on iOS alone. That brought them to 15 million unique players and 10 million monthly actives in the network. Now they’re coming to Android with about 100 titles in the waiting, and are planning to support Unity and build an enterprise-level SDK to allow bigger studios to customize their integrations. Nextpeer raised $325,000 from OurCrowd investors in December 2012 and $350,000 in its 2nd round of funding in March 2013. Read more on...
