Earlygame launches crowdfunding

Private investors can invest in the gaming platform with subordinated loans starting at 250 euros. This is already the second crowdinvesting round for Earlygame.

The crowd-investing phase of the e-sports and gaming platform Earlygame begins today. This is the second time the start-up has opened up to private investors, who can invest from an amount of 250 euros in the form of a subordinated loan. The campaign is being run via the crowdinvesting platform Seedmatch. Earlygame's first crowdfunding round took place in 2021 and was successful: the start-up exceeded its target of 500,000 euros and ultimately raised 700,000 euros.

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

Leopold Ingelheim in 2019. The platform publishes videos, articles and rankings in 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 start-up, Olympia-Verlag, which owns the sports magazine Kicker , has invested in the start-up.

The start-up aims to become profitable in the coming year. According to its own information, the company was able to increase its turnover by over 300% in 2021 compared to the previous year. The founders had already received a takeover offer of twelve million US dollars for their start-up, but rejected it.
