We are thrilled to be partnering with Dmitry Vysotski and Kevin Cubitt and announce our investment in LinQ, an embedded payments infrastructure solution enabling game developers to embed financial services in a compliant way at scale.
MiddleGame Ventures participated in the $2.3M round alongside a16z SPEEDRUN and gaming-specialists Drive by DraftKings and Sharp Alpha.
Launched in 2023, LinQ provides turnkey infrastructure solutions for game developers who are increasingly looking for new ways to monetise existing high-quality games as well as launch new games native to the real money gaming (skill-based) format. The Company will use the funds to scale the current platform which has since gone live with a number of global gaming publishers with +9bn downloads and millions of monthly active users (including the likes of Azur Games and Mamboo/My.Games).
MGV Partner Kanishk Walia shared his thoughts on the investment:
“Dmitry and Kevin’s regulatory-first approach, working directly with acquiring partners, not only provides a new way for gaming publishers to unlock additional revenue streams and drive user engagement, but also enables banks and Financial Institutions to tap into the fast growing market for the first time.”
