ngmoco, a maker and publisher of games for the iPhone, has raised an undisclosed amount of Series A funding in a round led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, with Maples Investments also participating.

            The funding likely comes from KPCB’s iFund, an investment initiative geared towards the iPhone and iPod Touch that was launched in March of this year.

            It has also been announced that William “Bing” Gordon, a partner at KPCB, will join the San Francisco-based game publisher’s board. Gordon, who was the former Chief Creative Officer for big-name video game maker Electronic Arts, left EA earlier this year in order to join KPCB.

             “Apple’s iPhone has the potential to be one of the best portable gaming platforms ever created,” said Gordon. “I believe ngmoco has the potential to produce killer apps that will help define this new device.”
