Game Jolt recently announced it had secured $2.6 million in a seed funding round. This money will be used to expand the company’s social platform that allows gamers and creators to easily share and discover new content.
This financing round was led by Acequia Capital. Participation also came from Madrona Venture Group, Graph Ventures, and Inventures Collective.
“The industry evolved, and our platform also went through a really great transition,” said CEO Yaprak DeCarmine. “We were always a place for gamers versus just another storefront. So gamers on our platform just started sharing their content and growing followers themselves. Today, we’re building a social community platform for gamers and the types of content they love. So what we saw is gamers are the ones that are creating the majority of the content out there. They love creating fan art of their favorite video game characters, they record videos of themselves playing games or playing with their friends. They write guides and review games that they’re playing so that they can have those meaningful discussions.”
Game Jolt is a Seattle, Washington-based company that was founded in 2002. The organization was launched in order to help people discover new titles and indie games.
