We mentioned some part of it from an SEC filing last week, but this fleshes out the entire amount: Digital Chocolate has closed a big $22.5 million third round funding led by late-stageVC fund Bridgescale Partners. The round also included Outlook Ventures, Montagu Newhall, DN Capital, Glynn Capital Management, CHI Capital, and returning investors Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Sutter Hill Ventures and Chengwei Ventures.
This puts the mobile gaming publisher DC’s total funding at $43.8 million. CEO Trip Hawkins didn’t give much away about the fate of the new funding: “This new financing round will allow us to fuel our expansion plan even further,” he said. What next, an IPO?
