Overplay launched a community round privately on Wefunder with Sound Media Ventures as the lead investor. $250K already raised from 67 investors, including execs from ESPN, Sesame Workshop, and other creators. The Angels & Entrepreneurs network, led by Shark Tank’s Daymond John, selected Overplay as their “Deal of the Month” and is helping drive impactful investors traffic to Wefunder. In addition, Overplay was elected from 3000+ startups to be part of the Mercury Raise 2023 cohort – putting Overplay in front of the top VCs in the world. And, Overplay was also selected to pitch at Plug & Play's Commerce Tech. In short, the company is enjoying nice support from potential funding sources.
The use of funds will help roll out the coveted GameMaker module in April, unleashing UGC mobile video gamification. In their first webinar, Overplay showed how easy it is to make any video in your pocket into a game. Enabling all of us to gamify each and every video we take on our phone – this is a true game changer.
