Raptr announces 6m users, $15m in funding

Gaming statistics platform Raptr has announced two milestones for its business, passing 6 million registered users and securing a funding round of $15 million.

The company, which claims to be the fastest-growing social networking platform aimed at gamers, tracks statistics from games across platforms, allowing users to share their progress and achievements with others.

According to a statement released today, the platform is adding 750,000 news users per month; part of the reason why three companies have agreed to series B funding.

"We're excited to be backed by DAG Ventures, Tenaya Capital, and Accel Partners as we continue to grow Raptr into the preeminent gaming community worldwide," said Dennis Fong, CEO of Raptr. "Along with the user growth of our application, we're also now reaching over a million unique visitors a day on our website, and have expanded our presence into the mobile arena."

The latest round brings the total level of investment into the company up to $27 million, with the new cash being used to "expand Raptr's offerings with new features that build on its gaming community".
