StageSpace, a unit of three year old eleisure Group, has raised an undisclosed amount from a syndicate of seed stage investors, namely Swiss-based Mountain Partners (founded by Cornelius Boersch a smart card entrepreneur-turned- business angel), Moritz Seidel, founder of Webfair AG, and Tiburon Unternehmensaufbau GmbH, an investment vehicle from Daniel Wild and Tim Schwenke who founded getmobile.de.
StageSpace creators want to make Web 1.0 online communities and social networks more colorful and animated with their avatar engine and supporting user profile publishing platform. The plan, as we understand it, is to market it to the installed based of online dating and chat sites, which are still largely text based.

eleisure has a track record in accessorizing virtual communities. Its Gameeconomy unit under the tagline Pimp Your Game develops and sells assets for virtual worlds, online games, and subscriptions.
