Digital Chocolate Acquires Barcelona's Microjocs - Its Second Euro Buy
Digital Chocolate, the California-based pureplay games startup founded by Trip Hawkins - and backed by Sequoia and KPBC (among others) - has made its second acquisition in Europe, with microjocs, a Barcelona-based startup [via Carlos Blanco blog].
Microjocs is an imode, WAP, and J2ME games developer and publisher that was founded in 2002 and it employs 20 in Spain.
In the same announcement the US startup said it had also acquired assets from Bangalore-based Small Device Mobile Technologies. No disclosure on the size of the deals.
Small Device is known for its mobile application porting ability, according to Digital Chocolate, which will enable it to triple its capacity for such work.
This is the second Euro deal for Digital Chocolate. Back in 2004, before the company announced raising its first round VC, it bought Sumea, a Helsinki-based mobile games startup. The number of employees at that studio has grown 328 percent and still employees all the original co-founders, said Digital Chocolate in the statement.
