What Company Is Offering:
Smith & Tinker, a company reinventing play for the connected generation, today announced the launch of its flagship game, Nanovor. Nanovor delivers the first-ever hybrid gaming platform that bridges the gap between online digital entertainment and offline play.
How It Works:
The game, designed for 7-12 year old boys, lets kids collect and battle their Nanovor online. Nanocash, the game’s virtual currency, lets kids expand their collection by buying online booster packs of more monsters and by trading their Nanovor with friends. Nanovor encourages kids to improve their logic skills by playing an included puzzle game to evolve Nanovor into new species. Kids are empowered by the game’s many facets as they discover and share strategies to battle their teams to victory.
How Much They Got From VCs:
It has got $29 million in venture capital funding with major investments coming from Alsop Louie Partners, DCM, Foundry Group, Leo Capital Holdings and Vulcan Capital. The most recent VCs funding round was led by DCM and closed in July, in advance of the company‟s recent launch of its flagship product, Nanovor.
