The round was led by angels in the gaming space, including ByFounders; Ben Holmes, former general partner at Index Ventures; and Morten Wulff, founder of GameAnalytics. Other investors in the round included existing investors Bumble Ventures and TrueSight Ventures. It adds to $1.7 million previously raised through a mix of equity funding from 500Startups and the Danish Growth Fund.
