Gamer Sensei raises $2.5M in seed funding for esports coaching with pros like StrifeCro

You are, statistically speaking, not the best video gamer in the world, but a new service wants to help you get closer to the top.

Gamer Sensei is an esports platform that wants to connect ambitious players with knowledgeable coaches. The company has already raised $2.3 million in a seed-funding round led by investment groups Accomplice and Boston Seed Capital. Sigma Prime, FJ Labs, Corigin Ventures, and Timothy & Todd McSweeney also participated in the funding. Gamer Sensei plans to use this cash to increase its team in an effort to ensure its platform meets the expectations of a demanding esports community that is worth more than $800 million in revenue just from events and tournaments.
