Three Melons investment

Buenos Aires, March 20th 2009 – Three Melons ( www.threemelons.com) announced today the closing of a U$S 600,000 seed round of funding, led by Santander Bank with support from current partners and local angel investors. Three Melons will allocate the funds to continue its growth in the Web and Smartphone gaming space, and extend its product strategy.

“We are very happy and grateful to our investors and look forward to this new stage in the life of our company”, said Mariano Suarez Battan, CEO of Three Melons. “We are confident that we have the passion, experience, talent and technology required to deliver amazing social games to make the world play. We want to put Argentina on the videogames industry map and bring something new to the market."

“We’ve been following Three Melons’ progress for a while and definitely see them as leaders in the online game space supported by a first class client roster” said Agustin Badano, manager of Nexo Emprendedor, Santander Bank. “We foresee a great future given their management team, technological capabilities and the online game products that they plan to launch."

Founded in November 2005, the company started as an advergame specialist and amassed an impressive clientele, developing games for advertisers and media companies such as LEGO, MTV, Disney, Coca-Cola, and Movistar among others. With award-winning advergames, such as LEGO’s Indiana Jones – which had 18 million unique users worldwide - Three Melons was ushered onto the international stage with the credibility to win new businesses and grow.

What’s Next

The new phase involves accelerating the studios' product strategy that started with the launch of Tennis Stars Cup, one of the first Unity3D based games. The studio is now working on a Unity3D Web MMO with a publishing partner and on a Flash sports related multiplayer social game empowered by its Melon Daiquiri development framework, a set of technologies and tools designed to develop high-end, socially enabled, web-based games.

In addition, the company's founders have recently been selected as Endeavor Entrepreneurs ( www.endeavor.org ) due to their high-impact potential, after going through a rigorous selection process, which analyzes hundreds of entrepreneurs in search of the best emerging market role models. Three Melons’ management team will be working with a team from Boston Consulting Group and Endeavor’s network of mentors to further define its expansion and internationalization strategy.
