TreSensa provides tools for developing and distributing HTML5 games that run in mobile browsers. The company focuses on browser-based mobile games to avoid app-store discoverability barriers and enable cross-device play without downloads. Its platform handles the plumbing to get a single codebase working across more than 60 distribution endpoints, including game portals and social networks. Features include carrier billing to support payments within games, with developers sharing revenue with TreSensa. TreSensa has worked with partners such as HBO on the True Blood 'True Survival' HTML5 title, showing non-indie customer traction. Financially, the company raised a $2M Series A in this round, bringing total funding to $3.5M. TreSensa provides a game engine SDK and backend services to help developers build HTML5 games that run across desktop and mobile browsers. The company launched its TreSensa game engine SDK into public beta and offers component-sized services so developers can integrate features (for example, while still using Unity or Corona). Asynchronous multiplayer is in private beta and the platform includes monetization support for paid virtual goods, digital currencies, and planned advertising integration. TreSensa positions its distribution services and backend as ways to help developers monetize and scale games. The company was formed by Rakesh Raju alongside former Tremor Video alums Rob Grossberg and Vincent Obermeier, and is roughly a year old and based in New York. TreSensa has already drawn interest from partners such as YouTube content partner Mondo Media and a large New York–based media company.
