Original post: July 29th, ‘08: Six Degrees Games, a stealthy online gamer, has raised a $7 million first round, according to the PwC MoneyTree Report, socalTech reported. The investors were not named, though socalTech said that the company is listed as a portfolio company of PrismVentureworks, so that’s at least one of them. Six Degrees Games is apparently working on some kind of tween-oriented, casual-gaming, virtual world type thing. The company itself says it’s building a mass market gaming applications for the internet.

Updated on Aug 5th: The company has formally announced its new round: the round was led by Clearstone Venture Partners and Prism VentureWorks.

The project is currently in closed beta. The company’s CEO Minard Hamilton was the former EVP of distribution and marketing at Jamdat Mobile (now part of EA). The other co-founder and President Ben Jones was also at Jamdat, as SVP of Sales.
