Freemium Game Dev Addmired Rebrands As Machine Zone, Lands $8M From Menlo Ventures

Oh, how times have changed for Addmired team. The Y Combinator startup first debuted in 2008 with an Hot or Not-esque social network plugin, but eventually found their footing after pivoting to become a developer of freemium multiplayer mobile games like iMob and its recently released sequel. Now they're looking to do a bit of rebranding by renaming themselves Machine Zone, and to celebrate, they've also announced that they have raised a cool $8 million Series B round led by Menlo Ventures. Their board of directors is being bolstered to boot -- Machine Zone's Menlo Ventures managing director Shervin Pishevar will be joining the board, as will Anthos Capital managing director Bryan Kelly.
