App Developer Project Zebra Secures Investment From Venista Ventures

LONDON, April 7, 2011/PRNewswire/ --     Aiming to further develop its range of fast-growing, location-based
iPhone applications, London-based software development house Project Zebra
today announced it has secured an investment (amount undisclosed) and
collaboration commitment from Venista Ventures, a Cologne, Germany-based
venture capital firm that concentrates on the mobile sector. "The agreement
ensures our company has the equipment, infrastructure and qualified staff we
need to take Project Zebra's software solutions to the next level," said
founder and CEO Barry Scott.

    Project Zebra is the company behind the successful iPhone game foursqWAR,
a location-based app game in which players combat with virtual troops for
buildings that exist in the actual world. The game is available on the
Apple's App Store and will be released on additional platforms later this
year. In foursqWAR, users take on the role of military tacticians as they
defend their home buildings and invade enemy territory.

    Venista Ventures decided to invest in Project Zebra based on its strong
performance and huge potential in the location-based smartphone games arena.
"We believe that Project Zebra holds tremendous promise," said Oliver
Wimmeroth, co-founder of Venista Ventures. "Foursqwar in particular is a real
winner, and with the further improvements Barry has in the pipeline I can see
it setting new standards for smartphone gaming-socializing-marketing
integration."

    Project Zebra Ltd. is based in London, United Kingdom, and led by founder
and CEO Barry Scott, an entrepreneur and iOS development specialist. The
company was established with the help of an investment from Cologne,
Germany-based Venista Ventures.

    Venista Ventures is a Cologne, Germany-based mobile ventures group
specializing in early-stage mobile entertainment and value products. It
secures the seed financing, technical expertise, marketing knowledge and
international connectivity necessary to guide mobile media ideas from concept
to market.
