What Company Is Offering:
Giant Realm, Inc. is a rapidly growing online media company which helps marketers reach the male 18-34 demographic that has disappeared from the traditional media landscape and online portals. GiantRealm.com and its growing publisher group deliver original content and community for enthusiasts of leading edge entertainment platforms within video gaming, television, film, music and humor. According to Google Analytics, the company currently reaches over 11 million individuals every month.

Last month the company announced a $3.5 million dollar investment led by Comcast Interactive Capital, with Edison Venture Fund also participating. This infusion of cash from SoftBank Capital rounds out Giant Realm’s Series A fundraising efforts. The William Morris Agency is also a backer of the company.
