Pocket Worlds builds Highrise, a social-first mobile massively multiplayer online sandbox where players create avatars, environments, and fashion and engage via real-time chat and a news feed. Highrise launched in January 2015 and the title has grown every month since, now counting more than seven million users. Over 30% of active users trade items, producing over 50,000 transactions daily. The company says revenues grew sixfold in the past year and it currently has 35 employees. Pocket Worlds is San Francisco-based and its stated mission is to build deep, social games that last for decades. The company plans to use new funding to accelerate product development for more social-first mobile games and to scale its team globally.
