GameOn Technology has raised $10.5 million in growth capital in the form of a convertible note financing. That means investors are loaning the company money, and the investors will have the option to convert the loan into ownership in the company.

Andrew Ogawa of Quest Ventures led the financing, with participation from Mirae Venture Partners and Silver Lake founder Jim Davidson. One of the features of convertible note financing is that it enables investors to put money into a company without haggling over valuation.
