iPhone Application Company Booyah Raises $4.5 Million

Booyah is an iPhone application development startup company that is based in Palo Alto, Calif.  The company was founded by Keith Lee, Brian Morrisroe and Sam Christiansen, who have all had some sort of gaming experience.  Lee was one of the head developers for the Diablo III franchise.  Booyah recently announced that they have raised $4.5 million in Series A funding from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers’s iFund initiative.

“We were immediately compelled by the promise of Booyah and the background of the founders,” stated Kleiner Perkins partner Matt Murphy in a press release.  “The iFund was created to help build the most promising and innovative businesses that utilize the discrete capabilities of the iPhone and iPod touch. Booyah is a terrific example.”

Last month Kleiner Perkins invested in Ngmoco, another iPhone gaming company.  Booyah has not announced when their product will be launching, but it is expected to revolve around MMO.  Booyah currently has beta sign ups on their website.
