Kongregate has created an investment fund for mobile developers
While Mark Pincus’ company is losing employees, other companies are picking them up. The gaming portal Kongregate has invited the former CEO of Zynga to head an investment fund for mobile developers.
Panayoti Haritatos will oversee the actions of the foundation, whose goal is to financially help teams at the final stages of development, bring the build to mind, integrate with various services, help with testing and monetization. The size of the fund is $10 million.
