The music themed gaming service secured its target with backing from crowd investors and Midven.
"SoshiGames definitely had the X Factor for our crowd, and we’re delighted to be part of the Soshi Story! 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."
Midven backed the Stoke-on-Trent creator of the ImPress crafting machine through its Early Advantage fund.
"The machine was quickly tailored specifically for the needs of the serious hobby crafter – it is multi-functional, robust and reliable, compact and affordable. We always knew we had a good product and our early sales success proved there is a market. This investment from Midven and private investors will give us the opportunity to grow the company, create jobs and continue to serve our enthusiastic customers."
