Jamango!, a browser-based game creation platform, has raised €2.4 million to accelerate development ahead of launching globally later this year.
The Irish-founded startup allows users to instantly create and play user-generated games online.
The creator tools let players combine simple block-based building with a no-code editor.
The system was built by an experienced team that have worked on award-winning games such as FIFA, The Sims, Star Wars Battlefront, and Horizon.
Jamango! will use the additional capital to accelerate further platform development and recruit staff across various disciplines.
The company was founded by serial entrepreneurs Adam Dalton, Richard Whelan, and Jeremy Klarenbeek.
“We see a major opportunity to bring user-generated content to the browser at a time when the market is signaling a surge in demand for the browser game category,” said Adam Dalton, Co-Founder of Jamango!
The pre-seed funding round was co-led by Elkstone and Delta Partners with additional funding from angel investors
“Inspired by platforms such as Roblox and games like Minecraft, we believe Jamango has a new unique proposition that their players and creators alike will love.” said Rich Barnwell, investor at Delta Partners and founder of DIGIT, acquired by Scopely.
