iVentureCapital Invests in Social Games Developer Kamicat

HAMBURG, Germany - May 7, 2013 - PRLog -- Hamburg, 7 May 2013:     iVentureCapital (www.iventurecapital.com), venture capital provider for the games industry, invests in Kamicat GmbH (www.facebook.com/kamicat), developer of social games for Facebook, PCs and mobile devices. The cross-platform game development company with its base in Hanover and offices in Berlin and Barcelona is the creator of the successful “Kamicat Football” (www.facebook.com/appcenter/kamicatfootball) game launched on Facebook in 2012. At present, “Kamicat Football” has five million registered users. The game combines live action with manager elements and is currently available in nine languages. The games performance network TrafficCaptain (www.trafficcaptain.com) will exclusively handle the marketing of “Kamicat Football”.

“The quality of Kamicat’s top title, ‘Kamicat Football’, in particular convinced us to move forward with this new investment. In fact, I am an enthusiastic ‘Kamicat Football’ player myself. It will add top-notch value to our portfolio as well as the TrafficCaptain performance network,” as Michael Reul, co-founder and CEO of iVentureCapital, explains the company’s involvement in the Hanover-based game developer.

Kamicat co-founder Christoph Reisner comments on the investment: “Kamicat Football’s staggering growth on Facebook over the past several months is largely due to viral effects. Players spend above-average amounts of time with our game – a combination of football action simulation and management – and recommend it to their friends. In future, we can rely on additional support from iVentureCapital to generate traffic and on TrafficCaptain’s marketing expertise to move ‘Kamicat Football’ ahead, and furthermore, to generate advertising revenue.” The mobile version planned for release later this year will accompany gamers on the move and increase the user base by unlocking new potential for “Kamicat Football”.

Apart from Kamicat, iVentureCapital has equity in game development companies Farbflut Entertainment, Infernum, MobileBits and Pro 3 Games, as well as gaming portals Games.de and allvatar.com, California-based mobile start-up Kamcord, games performance network TrafficCaptain and payment service provider BillingPartner.
