Lead: MY.GAMES Venture Capital (MGVC)

Investors: MY.GAMES Venture Capital (MGVC)

Labelled "strategic" by the source. Undisclosed stake and amount; MGVC provided marketing/HR/ops/financial support. MGVC's stake was bought out with proceeds of the June 2022 round. Tracxn lists this as a 'Seed' round with an implausible $8.0M figure — ignored.
