go2 Media(TM) (www.go2.com [1]), a mobile media company that delivers personalized local information and entertainment content, today announced that it served more than 2.5 million unique users last month, establishing itself as the most visited entertainment guide on mobile. The company also announced that it closed a $3 million funding round.
The 2.5 million milestone reflects go2's continued investments in product, successful integration with social communities and the launch of go2's co-branded arts and entertainment product suite that allows any mobile publisher to integrate go2 entertainment content in their mobile properties.
These advancements and growth in traffic helped go2 close a new $3 million round of funding led by Cambridge-based venture firm General Catalyst Partners. Proceeds of the funding will support go2's continued investment in product development, expansion of go2's mobile publisher partners program and strategic partnership and distribution opportunities.
"In the past 12 months, go2 has evolved from its original local directory roots to what is now the best entertainment guide available on the mobile platform," said Dan Smith, CEO of go2. "Our product evolution, visitor growth, new on and off-deck partnerships and recent financing all validate our vision and value in the mobile community. The go2 team and investors are committed to maintaining our leadership position in developing this new, revolutionary platform."
