Tapjoy [1], a San Francisco-based mobile advertising and publishing platform has launched a new program called the Tapjoy Asia Fund, backed by a $5 million investment and designed to encourage and support developers throughout Asia in the innovation and growth of Free-to-Play mobile apps for the Android and iOS platforms.
Tapjoy is a mobile advertising and monetization platform whose unique Mobile Value Exchange model allows users to select personalized advertisements with which to engage for virtual rewards or premium content.
Marking the company’s continued commitment to the Asia Pacific market, with offices already located in Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Seoul, the Tapjoy Asia Fund offers monetary and marketing support to both new mobile game studios starting a new venture and experienced game developers looking to self-publish and grow their user base for current apps.
Developers participating in the Tapjoy Asia Fund will have the opportunity to leverage Tapjoy’s:
- Working capital needed to get started;

“We are committed to helping developers bring fun, engaging mobile games and experiences to market successfully,” says Mihir Shah, Tapjoy CEO. “Providing a level playing field in which developers large and small can have their apps discovered will only strengthen the mobile marketplace for everyone. It is our hope that theTapjoy Asia Fund will be as well received as the Tapjoy Android Fund we launched in the U.S. last year which resulted in 155 new apps being developed.”
