The Edinburgh studio raised £86.8m from RedBird Capital Partners and other investors to launch its flagship gaming platforms.
"We are excited to partner with RedBird and our other investors to help us launch EVERYWHERE, MindsEye, and what we believe will be game-changing UGC design tools in ARCADIA. RedBird’s expertise in building successful entertainment and media platforms will be invaluable and makes them a perfect partner. I started Build A Rocket Boy so that I could continue to share the stories I love with players and give them a place to create and share. We believe in a future where game creation is put in the hands of the players, and we will empower them with the tools to help shape this vision with us."
EOS Network Ventures led the financing round, which included participation from IOBC Capital and Momentum Capital.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with EZ Swap. This partnership aligns perfectly with our vision of not only advancing the EOS ecosystem but also shaping the future of blockchain gaming. EZ Swap’s innovative approach to NFT exchange and inscription technology will bring unprecedented value and opportunities to our community, and we’re excited to see where this collaboration will lead us."
— Yves La Rose, Director of EOS Network Ventures and Founder & CEO of the EOS Network Foundation
Play Ventures led the seed round with a $2.5m contribution to help expand the Web3 gaming platform's team and market presence.
"Play Ventures has one of the best portfolios in the world for gaming and Web3. Receiving one of the largest investments from its Future Fund demonstrates their conviction in our team, products and vision. With their support, we’re able to power the next evolution of game economies, showcasing the benefits of blockchain to help our partners build, grow and scale Web3 ecosystems."
