Technology Crossover Ventures Funds All Of Spotify’s $250M International Growth Round
This is likely TCV's biggest Investment ever. It joined a crowd of VCs in Groupon’s $950 million round in 2011, and led a few other firms into Homeaway’s $250 million Series E in 2008. While it used to do more early stage deals, TCV has been focused around the Series C and D phase of startups’ lifecycles, with recent participation in $40 million rounds for Minted and JustFab.
HUNGER GAMES releases ENDLESS RUNNER for Android and iOS
Unlike the temple run 2 and Oz,the Endless runner is a long run game with lots of power-ups, social elements, and at least a few more interesting challenges from 'HUNGER GAMES'.
You start by choosing a male or female character. Seconds later, you're off and running, an angry swarm Jackers buzzy pursuit. just like the temple run you swipe up, down, left, and right to jump, slide, and move, all in response to the obstacles that appear along your path.
Of course, this being a Hunger Games game, you'll occasionally trade the jumping and dodging for shooting arrows at stuff, a nice (confusing ) diversion.
Panem Run litters lots of items for you to collect along the way: building materials, "sparks," and power-ups. Some of these things can be applied to various upgrades, like better arrows, spark multipliers, speed boosts, and so on.
