    The Netherlands-based BoosterMedia has raised €1.75 million in funding from previous backers Truffle Capital and Solid Ventures to boost its HTML5 mobile games distribution network and expand it internationally.

    By providing mobile gaming destinations to online media and gaming brands, BoosterMedia aims to reach gamers beyond the traditional
    channels (such as the many app stores).

    BoosterMedia also boasts its own HTML5 social game development studio.

    The company claims it reaches millions of mobile gamers in over 25 countries in Europe, Latin America and South-East Asia.

    BoosterMedia says it will introduce various enhancements to its mobile games distribution platform at the Casual Connect Europe event in Hamburg, including new features like friend connections, virtual currencies, achievements and leaderboards.

    Founded in 2009, BoosterMedia is based in Utrecht, The Netherlands, and employs 30 people.
