If you don’t go online with a group of friends, you’ll usually end up in multiplayer matches with strangers and people you probably don’t want to talk to. One startup is trying to fix that.
Overdog is a new company that is priming to launch a new app on Xbox One that will match you up with people you may not hate in multiplayer games. To help bring the product to market, Overdog just closed a funding round worth $1.8 million with participation from capital firms like Atlas Venture and Chicago Ventures. Individual investors like Zynga founder Mark Pincus and Machinima founder Allen Debevoise also contributed to this round. The developer told GamesBeat that it will use the cash for marketing, hiring talent, and building the app for a second platform.
