The funding of web games just doesn’t stop, does it?  Just 6 days ago, Zynga raised $29 million in funding to make Facebook games.  Today socalTech discovered that Six Degrees Games, a stealth startup based out of Marina Del Rey, Calif. raised $7 million.  The funding information was disclosed in a Pricewaterhouse Coopers/NVCA Money Tree Q2 report. 

The investors were not disclosed, but Prism VentureWorks lists Six Degree Games as one of the clients in their portfolio.  On the About Us page on Six Degrees, there is a message that states:

Six Degrees Games is a new game publisher.

We’re creating the next big thing.

Stay tuned…

Six Degrees is doing what stealth companies do, acting discrete.  Under the Job Opportunities section of the Six Degrees website, they are hiring software and game engineers.  “Six Degrees Games is inventing a new generation of vibrant, mass-market gaming applications for the internet.”

When Six Degrees has something to show, Pulse 2.0 will be there to report it.
