The Strategic round of Heroes & Empires has closed with $1.5 million raised through strategic fundraising.
We knew that gaming grew during the pandemic, and game investments and acquisitions have seen a boom as well. If you combine gaming with blockchain, that can only get hotter, right? Some believe that blockchain gaming is the tipping point for mass adoption. Games can now ‘play-to-earn’ on the blockchain, and Heroes & Empires is the game that you don’t want to miss. It is more than a concept. It is a game with the potential to reach over 1 million active users and generate $25 million gross merchandise value per day.
It may sound like an outlandish idea, but in only a decade we’ve seen exponential growth in new careers, such as being a streamer or a YouTuber. Heroes & Empires is a company formed by a group of players, all of whom play games where they can earn cryptocurrency rewards.
With special thanks to Venture Capitalists like Megala Ventures & Raptor Capital for leading the strategic investment round along with Dao Maker, UG Ventures, Interchain Ventures, Magnus Capital, X21 Digital, Basics Capital, Cinchblock, Icetea Labs and many more.
