Gamestarter Closes an Oversubscribed $2M Private Round Led by DAO Maker and Top Blockchain Investors (2024)

Gamestarter officially announced the closure of their fundraising rounds with over $2 Million USD raised through private sales. The round was led by popular IDO launchpad DAO Maker and other Blockchain VC stalwarts like AC capital, AngelONE, Evangelion Capital, AU21, Shima Capital, Coincurb, Kyros Ventures, MGNR and X21 Capital.

Gamestarter began as an idea to bring about a change in the gaming industry. Today, this idea is on the cusp of fomenting a revolution and bringing in a new standard for indie game funding. This has been possible because of the belief of their supporters who shared the same vision of creating an NFT-based crowdfunding platform & marketplace.

Decentralized Indie Game Fundraising

The gaming industry has long been plagued by big-name conglomerates hogging the limelight, interspersed with indie developers struggling to bring their ideas to life. Although crowdfunding models and token sales have been utilized by developers, both models have severe limitations and higher risks. Gamestarter’s mission is to transform this by building a fundraising marketplace powered by NFTs.

Gamestarter lets indie games fundraise by selling digital game items as liquid NFTs. The company adds liquidity, player-ownership, and new funding resources to the largest entertainment industry in the world.

Their NFT marketplace is powered by Gamestarter’s token “GAME”. This will give holders premium access to the marketplace, exclusive trading discounts to NFTs, and access to playable NFTs of the hottest indie games.
