Online gaming service platform Edgegap announced it had secured $7 million in Series A funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Konvoy Ventures led the funding round with additional investments coming from early-stage venture capital fund\u00a0GFR Fund<\/a>, Liberty Global, and Akamai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our goal is to build on the idea of a content delivery network, which already exists for cloud applications,” said Edgegap CEO and founder Mathieu Duperre. “In that sense, Edgegap is building a modern application delivery network, combining a highly distributed infrastructure footprint with a quick decision-making and deployment solution. We see this as a major paradigm shift for developers looking to distribute their applications worldwide.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Edgegap said the investment will allow the company to continue developing its infrastructure platform, improving online gaming latency, and automating infrastructure support across the online gaming industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, with this latest investment, Edgegap plans to expand its team as well as provide additional services for game studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based in Montreal, Canada, this is Edgegap’s second fundraising event. The company raised $1 million in seed investment in 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, the company partnered with two triple-A studios and a slew of smaller developers to conduct successful trials of its technology, successfully reducing latency for 91% of the players involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
