Jamango!, a pioneering browser-based game creation platform, has successfully raised €2.4 million in funding to accelerate its development ahead of a global launch later this year.
The Irish-founded startup enables users to instantly create and play user-generated games online. Utilizing creator tools, players can combine simple block-based building with a no-code editor, offering a versatile platform for game creation.
Built by an experienced team with backgrounds in developing award-winning games such as FIFA, The Sims, Star Wars Battlefront, and Horizon, Jamango! is set to revolutionize the browser game category.
The new capital infusion will be used to enhance platform development and recruit additional staff across various disciplines. The company was founded by seasoned entrepreneurs Adam Dalton, Richard Whelan, and Jeremy Klarenbeek.
"We see a major opportunity to bring user-generated content to the browser at a time when the market is signaling a surge in demand for the browser game category," said Adam Dalton, Co-Founder of Jamango!
The pre-seed funding round was co-led by Elkstone and Delta Partners, with additional support from angel investors. Rich Barnwell, investor at Delta Partners and founder of DIGIT (acquired by Scopely), commented, "Inspired by platforms such as Roblox and games like Minecraft, we believe Jamango has a unique proposition that players and creators alike will love."
