Seed round

Mixi investment

We have been creating social games for over 5 years. We started with our own social game network, JooJoo. As the social networks opened up, we took investment from the #1 SNS Mixi, and pivoted to become a social network app provider. We now provide games to all three social networks in Japan.

JooJoo was our own social games network, with a deep integration between social and game content. For example writing blogs would give your in-game character extra XP, and adventure games with quizzes in-game would complete your user profile. We monetized through a mix of virtual goods and CPI ads.
