Bunch has raised $20 million in venture funding to help friends party up with each other in multiplayer mobile games. The idea behind the company is to create a social layer that keeps people coming back to these games.

Venture capital firm General Catalyst led the round, with participation from top game developers — including Electronic Arts, Take-Two Interactive Software, Krafton, Ubisoft, Mixi, Miniclip, Colopl, Riot Games, Ubisoft, and Supercell. This is a rare moment of broad support from game publishers, who are pitching in to make mobile games more sticky. Bunch is available on both iOS and Android.
