Kixeye Raises $18M Third Round, Brings Zynga Co-Founder Trader to Board

Backyard Monsters developer Kixeye announced a third round of funding today totally $18 million from Jafco Ventures, Trinity Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partner. Additionally, Zynga co-founder Andrew Trader will join the developer’s board.
