Thumbplay raises $6m of funding

Another bite at the VC cherry

Thumbplay raises $6m of funding
US mobile content retailer Thumbplay has raised $6 million in its sixth round of financing, according to financial news site PEhub.

It doesn't carry details of who stumped up this time round, although it notes that existing investors include Brookside Capital Advisors, Cross Creek Capital, Bain Capital Ventures, Redwood Partners, New Enterprise Associates and Meritech Capital Partners.

Reporting the news, MocoNews says this takes Thumbplay's total funding to date to $59 million.

It's at least a spot of good news for the company, which lost its chief product officer and chief technology officer in March amid rumours that it was struggling.

Thumbplay has a large catalogue of mobile games, offered as part of its $9.99-a-month subscription package.
