Gamercraft – an AI-driven, skill-based competitive gaming platform – recently announced it has successfully raised $5 million in funding for the first part of its seed round. This funding round was led by the co-founders of computer hardware giant Alienware (existing investors) and included participation from Le Fonds, Mistral Ventures, Quantic Fund, Stellaria Capital, and others.
The company plans to use the funding to expand engineering & platform capabilities, introduce new games and genres in 2024, and expand growth marketing efforts. And the firm plans to close the seed round later this year.
Launched in 2020, Gamercraft’s mission is to accelerate the evolution of skill-based gaming economies into fundamental aspects of the overall video game industry.
Building on its growth and success to date from the AAA online titles already supported on its competitive PVP platform, the new funding will allow Gamercraft to rapidly accelerate the development and launch of a library of new game genres and titles. The select collaborations have allowed Gamercraft to attract an impressive user base composed of hundreds of thousands of passionate gamers across North America, Latin America, and Europe, with millions of new users forecasted via new product development. The accelerating adoption of Gamercraft’s platform highlights the rising demand for an accessible skill-based gaming economy and signals the potential for a new era of competitive gaming.
With the intersection of blockchain and AI, Gamercraft is forging a unique path as a gaming infrastructure player. And where traditional anti-cheat models fall short, Gamercraft’s engineering talent has pioneered a new solution: an adaptive learning-based model to analyze the most granular details of player data.
The platform utilizes the AWS Quantum Ledger, a fully managed ledger database that provides a transparent, immutable, and cryptographically verifiable transaction log. And Gamercraft’s innovative & proprietary scoring and player-tracking system meticulously analyzes hundreds of data points per game for each player. It translates them into precise performance assessments and insights using AI.
The precision of the model ensures fair play and paves the way for highly defensible, hyper-localized features such as personal AI coaching and player development. And this blend of AI and blockchain technology sets Gamercraft apart in its commitment to delivering high-value competitive gaming experiences and analytics for players at all skill levels.
Gamercraft plans to utilize a portion of its proceeds for further exploration and innovation in promising competitive and blockchain gaming areas, aligning with its core mission. While maintaining its focus on the AI-driven gaming ecosystem, these strategic additions will further solidify Gamercraft’s role as a leader in the growing skill-based gaming market.
