CryptoKitties Maker Dapper Las Doubles Valuation in Venrock-Led Fundraising

Vancouver based blockchain gaming startup (famous for Cryptokitties) has raised a $15m Series B led by Venrock.

Dapper, which grew to fame as that game clogged the Ethereum network last year, plans to use the new funds to open a Los Angeles-based U.S. subsidiary and to release additional games and entertainment apps that run on blockchain, the database technology. Ultimately, it aims to emulate in the blockchain world what Zynga became in social gaming, Dapper Chief Executive Officer Roham Gharegozolou said in a phone interview.
