History

The company, based in Munich, Germany, raised US$2.8 million to help create the service that they founded in 2008. Early Investors included Earlybird Venture Capital and Target Partners.[1][2] In March 2010, Scoreloop gave developers that used its service the ability to monetize their apps using the company's services.[3] The network was among the first to add support for Android apps.[4]

During August 2010, Scoreloop revealed that its user base was growing by over 100,000 new users per day.[5]

In 2011, Scoreloop was acquired by Research in Motion.[6]
