Back-end engine developer Pragma has closed a seed funding round worth $4.2 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Founded earlier this year the Los Angeles, California-based company provides a “back-end as a service” solution for online games, covering accounts, player data, lobbies, match matching, social systems, telemetry, and store fulfillment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pragma will also roll out specialised services around privacy and behaviour systems to help identity and manage toxic behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Led by Upfront Ventures, with additional funding from Advancit Capital and a number of angel investors, the financing will be used to accelerate development and to hire engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“In a world where gaming studios have long used third-party engines to power their front-end development, it makes no sense for the same studios to spend millions of dollars to build their own custom back-end,” said Upfront Ventures partner Kevin Zhang<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This broken system has lasted for so long because creating a reusable, platform-agnostic backend is not just extremely complex but rarely prioritized compared to the game… The Pragma team [has] repeatedly solved these sophisticated problems across multiple, large-scale games.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pragma is currently in development and slated to launch a private beta later this year 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
