Aurora Feint, a mobile social gaming network developer, has raised an undisclosed round of funding from Intel Capital, the corporate venturing division of semiconductor company Intel. The investment will be used for Aurora’s multi-platform mobile gaming for smartphones and tablets.
Intel Capital joins Japan-based gaming group DeNA, which owned 20% of Aurora Feint, as an investor.
Jason Citron, chief executive of Aurora, said: "We have added 3,400 games and over 45 million mobile gamers to OpenFeint in just over a year.
"Mobile games are an integral part of any viable mobile platform, and this investment from Intel Capital will help us expand our cross platform efforts to help bring great gaming content, discovery and community to every mobile device."
Mike Buckley, managing director of Intel Capital, which has invested more than $9.5bn in over 1,050 companies in 47 countries since 1991, said: "Over the past few years, interest in mobile gaming has exploded, creating a huge market opportunity to deliver these games to the one billion plus mobile device users worldwide.
"With this investment, Intel Capital is investing in a robust ecosystem of gaming content that we hope to help Aurora Feint scale globally."
