Kiwi Raises $15 Million for Development of Cross-Platform Mobile Games

Westbound developer Kiwi has announced it has closed a $15 million Series B financing round, led by Northgate Capital with participation from DFJ and existing investor Sequoia Capital. The developer has experienced ample success with its apps on Android devices, but will use the funding to create a new series of cross-platform “AAA-quality” mobile titles. In addition, the company will improve its distribution and monetization tools, which Kiwi says will “affect the entire mobile ecosystem.”

“Our early focus in the rapidly growing Android ecosystem has allowed us to build top free-to-play mobile games on Google Play and develop tools that we are making available broadly to benefit all developers,” said Omar Siddiqui, CEO of Kiwi.
