Boom Corp. has raised $1.8 million in seed funding to develop social games that bring people together, much like the company’s first title, Boom Slingers.

The female-led company is based in Tampere, Finland, and it has eight people. The four founders have 8-to-10 years experience each in games, working on titles such as Angry Birds and Badland. They started the company in March 2020, just as the pandemic was starting. And they managed to raise two angel funding rounds during the year.
