App Samurai, a platform for marketing mobile apps, closed a $2.4 million Series A fundraising round last week, after being backed by 212 Ventures.
The startup, founded in 2016, offers app developers access to its portfolio of products, which includes Interceptd, a fraud-prevention service, and Storyly, which allow users to deploy in-app stories, similar to Facebook or Snapchat.
App Samurai currently operates across nine cities globally, and last year opened offices in the US, Germany and Israel. CEO and co-founder Emre Fadillioglu said the new fundraising money would be used to boost App Samurai's global presence.
