UK-based Playfire, a social network that links like-minded gamers, secured $2.1 million in Series A funding, says Tech Crunch. Reportedly, the round was led by Atomico Ventures (founded by Skype founders Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis), Bebo founder Michael Birch, Brent Hoberman, William Reeve and Alex Chesterman, and former EAUK COO David Gardner (currently CEO of Atari). The funding will be used to expand the company's development team and accelerate growth and follows a seed stage investment last year from former Sony Europe chair Chris Deering among others.
