Content creation platform Gamebeast has raised $3.7 million in pre-funding.
Founded by CEO Zander Brumbaugh in 2023, Gamebeast provides tools for user-generated content platforms including Roblox and Fortnite.
The investment was led by J2 Ventures with participation from A16Z Speedrun, The Mini Fund and Spaceport CEO Le Zhang.
The funds raised will be used to launch Gamebeast on new platforms, improve its analytics platform and internal AI-driven statistics “for strategy games and data mining”.
Gamebeast's platform and tools are also being considered for use in defense applications in the US military, which this investment will also support.
“Gamebeast's success among Roblox developers is evident and its technology platform has huge potential for defense,” said J2 Ventures General Partner Christine Keung.
“[Its] gaming expertise is critical to the Air Force and initiatives that use industry experts to create and analyze advanced digital environments.”
