Competitive gaming platform Gankster has officially raised $4 million in seed round funding in a round led by Bessemer Venture Partners and Hetz Ventures. Overwolf and Samsung Next participated as well.
“Gankster offers a comprehensive and accessible environment for professional growth for every gamer in the world, from the pros to the casual players, by connecting all steps of the competitive gamer’s journey in one place,” Gankster CEO Uriya Schwarz said in an official announcement.
The platform launched Gangkrep 1.0, a reputation system that tracks player activity in-app and in-game that was created to address toxicity and inclusivity in gaming.
