Kleiner Puts $100 Million Towards iPad Investments, Mobile Social Games Developers Included
Leading Silicon Valley venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers is putting $100 million towards funding developers building for Apple’s forthcoming iPad device. This comes on top of the $100 million it has already put in to companies building for the App Store iPhone/iPod touch.
Sectors the firm will focus on include mobile healthcare initiatives, personalized media, mobile education and mobile commerce — and mobile gaming — partner John Doerr says. The so-called iFund has already put money in to familiar developer names like Booyah, Cooliris, Gogii, InMobi, Ngmoco, Pinger, Shazam, Shopkick, and Zynga.
