Playerize (Fall 2011 Cohort) Raises $1 Million Series A

Today we are very excited to share the news about Playerize who just closed their A round.

From the VentureBeat story that made the announcement today:

“Playerize, a company that helps game studios find more players for their online and mobile games, raised $1 million in its first round of funding.

“Playerize uses display advertising through blog networks to help find new players for mobile and social games. For example, if a game studio creates a puppy themed game, we would place a display ad on a puppy related website to drive players to the game,” Playerize co-founder Lyal Avery told VentureBeat. Avery noted that Playerize’s main competitors, Nanigans and Ad Parlor, only focus on Facebook ads.”

Congrats to Jeff, Lyal and the entire Playerize team!
