HitFox Group, a game and app startup incubator in Berlin, said it saw 600 percent revenue growth in 2013. And it has also backed three new startups in mobile advertising and big data.

The company said that its group of companies — the game distribution firms AppLift, ad2games and GameFinder — are profitable and increased their revenue overall by more than six-fold. The three additional startups are in stealth mode and will be announced in early 2014. And HitFox said the company’s portfolio firms will double their numbers of employees from 150 to 300 during the next year.
