Social Media Analyst Kontagent Banks $4.8m

San Francisco-based Kontagent provides a user analytics platform which tracks more than 400 million monthly active users across thousands of applications. Last month, the firm announced its planned merger with mobile games business engine PlayHaven to create one company that will help mobile-focused businesses and app developers understand player behavior.

According to a form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the new funding comes from Hany Nada of GGV Capital and Eric Kim of Maverick Capital.
