Jamango raises $2.5M to launch browser-based game maker this year

Browser-based game creation platform Jamango announced today that it has raised $2.5 million in funding. It plans to use this funding to accelerate the launch of its platform, which allows users to create and play simple games to be played in-browser, later this year. Elkstone and Delta Partners co-led the pre-seed funding round, with angel investors — Brian Caulfield, the chair of Scale Ireland; Brendan O’Driscoll, Figma’s VP of product; and Conor Sheahan, founder of CKS Finance — adding additional funding.

Jamango offers block-based building tools with a no-code editor to creators who wish to make games that can be played instantly via browser. It requires no downloads and can be used on any device that supports browsers. The company plans to launch the creation platform later this year, though it’s currently working with several creators in closed alpha.
