Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers has invested in two iPhone aimed
mobile gaming startups through their iFund fund. The lucky companies
are ng:moco and Gogii.
Both mobile game developers expect to have their first mobile games in Apple’s App Store around Fall this year. ng:moco received between $5 and $ 8 million, but exact amounts are unknown at the moment. Gogii however received $ 5 million in order to start on the market. Both companies should go public in 7 to 8 years.
Gogii is relatively new in the mobile games market, but is ran by old Jamdat managers, which means the company holds a lot of information and experience in the classic market.
