This is not the first investment in Revolving. The company has secured $25 million in the last 2.5 years. These investments came from Pantera Capital, Animoca Brands, Dapper Labs, Parmanens Capital Partners, Kenetic Sarmayacar, Polygon, Houser, and DWeb3 Capital.
In an interview with GamesBeat, Revolving Games CEO Saad Zaeem said the following about the company:
“We were founded in the Web2 era. We were a mobile game company -first-. But we saw that Web3 was where we needed to go and so we did a pivot late last year.”
The company has already earned the trust of many blockchain companies, such as Gala Games, Animoca Brands, Polygon, and Dapper Labs. The company’s mission is to “develop the groundwork and cutting-edge technology to create scalable and fully decentralized gaming experiences.” The team includes many experienced names who have worked at companies such as Amazon, Blizzard, and Kabam.
