Fantasy Shopper $3.3M round announced
As reported first by TechCrunch Europe, Fantasy Shopper has recently closed a financing round worth $3.3M, led by Accel Partners and New Entreprise Associates. Fantasy Shopper joined HackFwd at the end of 2010, and developed (in stealth) and launched the incredibly addictive social shopping game in October in the UK. They also cleaned awards tables in the UK and the US, most notably first prize at the Amazon Web Services Startup Challenge as the first non-US company. The traction and real numbers have proven the potential of the product, and HackFwd is proud in congratulating the team for the success and the rapid progress. We strongly believe that the backing now announced with the leading technology investors in the world is exactly the right move, enabling Fantasy Shopper to concentrate on rapid growth and going from strength to strength. Congratulations to the team! And if you are looking for a new challenge in development or UX design, make sure to check out jobs at Fantasy Shopper.
