An alternative to traditional mobile game ad networks, Chartboost has raised $19 million in Series A funding from Sequoia Capital with participation from previous investors TransLink Capital and SK Telecom. The company was already profitable before Series A venture funding was announced.

Chartboost founder and CEO Maria Alegre is a veteran of the gaming industry, most recently at Tapulous (acquired by Disney) as a Business and Revenue Associate. Chartboost powers distribution and monetization for iOS and Android mobile games through direct deals and cross-promotion.

“We see Chartboost as a business engine [for mobile game developers]… We are here to build an enduring company. What we’ve built is only the beginning,” she said.

Congrats to the Chartboost team on the Series A funding to expand the team and go international.
