It’s on the heels of this early traction that the company is today announcing it has found yet another investor - this time from global telecom giant, Qualcomm.Īcting through its venture arm, Qualcomm Ventures, the chipmaker invested an undisclosed amount in BlueStacks, but from what we’ve been hearing from those familiar with the matter, the round was in the seven-figure range. In the first 10 days after its release, BlueStacks’ App Player racked up more than 1 million downloads, with over 12 million apps collectively being run by its users. The startup finally released its public beta on March 27th, and so far users have been eating it up. Thanks to this appealing concept, BlueStacks lured $7.6 million in venture funding pre-launch, before adding another $6.4 million a few months later - all from investors like AMD, Citrix Systems, Andreessen Horowitz, Ignition Ventures, and more. The startup’s software has been going like hotcakes over the last few months, as it’s offering a much-needed service for Android and PC users, having developed software that allows Android users to run their apps on all Windows PCs, tablets, and laptops - without any modifications. If you’re an Android and a PC, you should check out BlueStacks - before hackers catch on or Chrome sneaks in this functionality, take advantage.
