Piepacker raises $12M in funding round led by Lego Ventures

Join independent journalists and industry decision-makers at GamesBeat NEXT, returning to San Francisco November 2–3. The event brings together 500 executives, founders, investors and tech leaders shaping the $200 billion interactive economy for candid discussions on gaming, entertainment, technology and AI, plus executive networking and opportunities to build partnerships and close major deals.

Piepacker announced today that it has finished a Series A funding round that brought in $12 million.

Lego Ventures led the round. The funding will help Piepacker expand into more territories and platforms.

Piepacker is a social platform that allows users to play retro games together on their web browsers.

“We created Piepacker to offer a social and low tech-friendly cloud gaming platform,” said CEO Benjamin Devienne. “We designed it to be accessible to everyone — available directly from a web browser, it does not require a high-speed internet connection to provide a seamless multiplayer game experience. Piepacker is all about bringing people together through games, with a touch of childhood playfulness and creativity. It was a natural step to choose Lego Ventures as a catalyst and key advisor for our growth model. Lego’s DNA and philosophy resonate perfectly with our vision.”

The platform opened in 2020 in a beta and has about half a million users.
