The Deal and Mineski Global
Mineski Global is an esports and gaming organization in Southeast Asia (SEA), owned by TEG Holding Pte. Ltd. Recently, they announced a $10.6-million Series A funding round led by Exacta Capital Partners. The New York-based Endeavor Catalyst also participated in the deal. Rocket Equities, a Southeast Asia M&A advisory firm, helped mediate the funding round.
Mineski Global started as a college DOTA team but over the past two decades, it has grown significantly, now offering a variety of services to companies and gamers which include original tournaments and esports leagues, casual and competitive mobile gaming platforms, and esports marketing campaigns.
The company said that it wants to use the newly acquired capital to grow its gamification technology portfolio and broaden its reach in Southeast Asia.
