Machine Zone Inc. -- maker of the mobile game known for its television advertisements featuring model Kate Upton -- is gauging interest from investors in a new round of funding that would value the company at double what it was worth a year ago, people with knowledge of the matter said.
Machine Zone, which makes Game of War, has received offers for financing at about a $6 billion valuation, said the people, who asked not to be named because the discussions are private. Last July, Machine Zone raised funds that valued the company at about $3 billion, people familiar with the matter said then.
