BigDoor Gets $5M

Seattle-based BigDoor Media, which develops a platform which allows any web site to implement their own badges, leaderboards, virtual currency, and other "game mechanics", has raised $5M in a Series B funding. The funding was led by Foundry Group. As part of the funding, Foundry's Brad Feld joins the board. BigDoor said its API and platform is open to anyone who wants to create a virtual economy or add game mechanics to their website or app. Andy Sack of Founders Co-op also sits on BigDoor's board of directors.
