Leading technology website, VentureBeat, featured OurCrowd portfolio company Nextpeer, which has developed a platform that allows any iOS developer to easily integrate a first-class multiplayer experience into their games. Nextpeer made its name by turning single-player mobile games into multiplayer challenges.
