Let me slowly check and share some updates about Ex Populus for you!
This is the news for October 2021:
CLEWLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ex Populus announced today that it has closed a highly oversubscribed $3 million seed round led by Animoca Brands. Ex Populus’ seed rounds have received a high level of attention, which led to the round’s rapid oversubscription, highlighting the excitement surrounding Ex Populus’ new fully Ethereum-based game publishing model. The round also saw participation from other notable investors including CMS, Enjin, Infinity Ventures, Evernew, Polybius Capital, Decision Tree Ventures, Outlier Ventures, and Zipmex. Investors were highly critical of the potential of a game publisher that can harness the power of Web3, and the team is comprised of a diverse group of professionals from both the gaming and crypto industries.
“Ex Populus has great potential to accelerate the adoption of Web3 gaming, and we look forward to working with the team to identify strategic opportunities to launch third-party games,” said Yat Siu, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Animoca Brands.
As a publishing platform and entertainment brand, Ex Populus has adapted to the rapidly changing gaming and entertainment industry. In working closely with independent developers of Web3 content, its publishing model not only generates revenue for games in new ways, but also provides enriching and expanded tools for players. The strong industry recognition of this funding round will help Ex Populus continue to develop and expand a vibrant gaming community and ecosystem to help build the metaverse.
“We were confident there would be strong interest from the investment community,” said Tobias Batton, CEO and founder of Ex Populus. “But we are extremely humbled by the overwhelming support and enthusiasm we received in this round.”
Ex Populus’ first game is LAMO, an exciting project that combines the fast-paced shooter genre with blockchain-based collectible features, with playable characters drawn from heroes from entertainment and pop culture.
