Educational games app developer Fingerprint Digital, backed by games developer THQ, has raised $7.7m in funding according to a SEC filing. Further details on the deal or participants have not been disclosed.
The San Francisco-based firm previously picked up $1.4m in a venture round during April 2011. Early-stage investor K2 Media Labs, the venture unit of information solutions provider Reed Elsevier, Suffolk Holdings, and THQ all participated in the round.
Another investor listed on the firm’s website is the Rose Family Foundation, which believes video games are the solution to some of society’s problems.
The firm has now raised a total of $8.8m in venture funding.
Founded in 2010, it has released 14 apps, all of which have been educational games developed for pre-school children.
Fingerprint has so far been THQ’s only venture investment. The company announced the release of Nintendo Wii peripheral uDraw GameTablet shortly before the investment, which it has since discontinued. Fingerprint has released a game with THQ since called Fingerprint Play Maker for iOS.
