£285K
Soshi develops music themed social and mobile games that connect recording artists with large fan bases online.
Soshi has raised £285k in a crowdfunding campaign on SyndicateRoom, with participation from venture capital firm Midven. The capital will support the growth of its music themed gaming service.
The company occupies a niche combining mobile gaming and digital music, aiming to monetise large social media followings for major music acts. Soshi has previously partnered with music festivals, publications, and bands including Lawson and Bullet for my Valentine.
From the founder
"I envisage a world where the whole idea of an album cover; a CD insert; the static imagery you still see even online being used to promote albums today, transforms to be a much more interactive, engaging experience. Albums will evolve with their player bases over time, with new micro games launched that provide an interactive medium for gamers who love their music to uncover a more enhanced experience."

With the music industry seeing growth in live performances, digital streaming and merchandise, partnering this with the burgeoning mobile gaming industry is surely a match made in heaven. We were really excited to offer this opportunity to our crowd, allowing them to invest alongside Soshi’s existing funders; highly-regarded VC firm Midven."
