Mobile gameplay-recording startup Kamcord presses play on $7.1M funding round

With a new app and Asian markets in its eye, one of the few companies working to add gameplay video recording on iOS and Android just got a bunch of cash to pursue its goals.

Kamcord, the maker of a software-development kit that enables gamemakers to add video recording to their mobile apps, reported this morning that it closed a $7.1 million Series A funding round. Investment firm TransLink Capital led the round, along with participation from DeNA, SV Angel, Innovation Works, KLab, M&Y Growth Partners, and XG Ventures. Kamcord plans to use the money to further fund development and expansion into key Asian markets. Last month, gamers used Kamcord to share over 1 million videos.
