Astrocade announced $56M in new funding. The funding includes a Series B led by Sequoia Capital and a Series A led by Sea, with participation from Google’s AI Futures Fund, NVIDIA, LG Technology Ventures, Dentsu Ventures, Conviction Embed, Chaac Ventures, Rogue VC, and many more, to build a new kind of interactive entertainment platform.
In just eight months since launch, more than 20 million engaged users have joined Astrocade, creating, playing, and showing what the platform can become.
Unlike traditional game engines like Unity or Unreal, which require deep technical knowledge, Astrocade leverages generative AI to allow users to create interactive worlds and games in minutes using simple prompts. This “low-barrier” approach has resulted in a community where creators—many with no coding background—are already generating significant monthly revenue from their creations.
A Leadership Built on AI Excellence
Founded by brothers Amir and Ali Sadeghian, Astrocade’s DNA is rooted in high-level informatics rather than traditional game studio culture. Amir (a Stanford PhD) and Ali (a former Google AI researcher) have utilized their backgrounds in AI to build a platform that focuses on “outsider” creativity.
The company plans to use the new capital to:
- Expand the core team across engineering, design, and growth.
- Deepen investment in the creator community, specifically enhancing monetization tools.
- Scale the platform’s AI capabilities to handle increasingly complex game logic and visual fidelity.
