Giant Realm, the entertainment portal geared towards men, has received $2 million in funding from SoftBank Capital. The funds come in addition to the $3.5 million contributed by Comcast Interactive Capital and Edison Venture Fund last month, bringing the total Series A funding to $5.5 million.
Giant Realm is an online media provider that targets men ages 18-34 with content related to video games, movies, television, humor, and music. The company says that it is growing rapidly, with a reach of over 11 million viewers monthly.
As part of the deal, Jordan Levy of SoftBank Capital will join Giant Realm's board of directors, with SoftBank's Michael Perlis joining as an observer.
