Iminlikewithyou raises $1.5M for social gaming site
Iminlikewithyou, a startup that began as something close to a dating site and has become closer to a casual game portal and social network over time, has raised a $1.5 million second round tor expansion.
The New York-based company only features its own games on the site, and is based entirely in Flash. Co-founder Charles Forman has said that he based many of his ideas off South Korean sites.
We’ve written more about the company as part of a longer piece on making casual games work.
The $1.5 million funding was provided by Spark Capital, Baseline Ventures and Betaworks, as well as angel investors including Ron Conway and Marc Andreessen, according to CNET.
