SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Flurry Inc., a leading provider of mobile application analytics, discovery and monetization solutions, today announced that it has closed a $15 million Series C round of financing. The round was led by Menlo Ventures with participation from existing investors, including Draper Fisher Jurvetson, InterWest, First Round Capital and Union Square Ventures. Sonja Hoel Perkins, Menlo Ventures Managing Director, will join Flurry's board of directors.

"We are thrilled to have Menlo Ventures lead this round of financing, and to have Sonja Hoel Perkins join our board of directors," said Simon Khalaf president and CEO of Flurry.
