Earlygame launches crowdfunding

From 250 euros, private investors can invest in the gaming platform by means of subordinated loans. This is already the second crowdfunding round for Earlygame.

The crowdinvesting phase of the e-sports and gaming platform Earlygame begins today. The start-up is thus opening up for the second time to private investors, who can invest from an amount of 250 euros in the form of a subordinated loan. The campaign runs via the crowdinvesting platform Seedmatch. Earlygame's first crowdfunding round took place in 2021 and was successful: the start-up was able to exceed its target of 500,000 euros and ended up collecting 700,000 euros.

"Earlygame's vision is to build the number one e-sports and gaming brand for the mainstream fan," said co-founder Fabian Furch. He co-founded Earlygame with

Leopold Ingelheim in 2019. The platform publishes videos, articles and rankings from the field of e-sports and gaming. The company has just developed the sub-brands "Riftfeed" and "Valorfeed" to serve specific target groups. According to the company's own information, Olympia-Verlag, which owns the sports magazine Kicker , is among those invested in the start-up.

The start-up aims to become profitable as early as next year. According to the company's own information, 2021 could increase its sales by more than 300 percent compared to the previous year. The founders had already received a takeover offer of twelve million U.S. dollars for their start-up, but rejected it.
