NYC-based mobile content retailing firm ThumbPlay has received another relatively big round of venture funding: it has secured $15 million in new capital through a $10 million third round led by Bain Capital Ventures and a $5 million line of credit with SVB Silicon Valley Bank. Existing Thumbplay investors, SoftBank Capital and i-Hatch Ventures, also participated in the round. i-Hatch seeded the company with its initial funding in 2004 and Softbank joined in second round.
Recently, the company announced partnerships with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and Disney Internet Group for D2C offerings. Thumbplay says it currently offers more than 50K pieces of mobile content and supports all major wireless carriers. More details in the release here.
