Hive Media develops social media games that allow fans to extend engagement with hit movies, TV series and brands across Facebook, iPad and mobile devices. The company targets shows with significant brand recognition, large ardent fan bases, and high-profile marketing and ad-sales programs. Led by CEO Brian Laing, Hive Media has already released a game based on the television show Deadliest Catch. The company raised $1.5M in Series A funding and plans to use the proceeds to develop a game based on Animal Planet and to grow its Deadliest Catch title. Backers in the round include investors from Keiretsu Forum, The Angels' Forum, Band of Angels and Golden Seeds. The financing is aimed at supporting product development and growth on social and mobile platforms.
