Gamer Sensei, a Boston, MA-based provider of a mastery platform for competitive gamers, raised $2.3m in seed funding.
The round was led by Accomplice and Boston Seed Capital, with participation from Sigma Prime, FJ Labs, Corigin Ventures and Timothy & Todd McSweeney.
The company intends to use the funds to grow the team, accelerate development of the patent-pending mastery algorithm, expand to additional games, increase partnerships with Sensei and eSports teams and establish an industry standard system for credentialing Sensei and improving players.
Co-founded by William Collis, Rohan Gopaldas and Jiapeng Ji, Gamer Sensei provides personalized coaching and skills development for major eSports titles for gamers to improve their skills. The company invented an algorithm to match competitive gamers with a large collection of certified Sensei across all major eSports titles. Once matched with a top Sensei, gamers receive personalized in-game coaching, resulting in measureable improvements.
Gamer Sensei currently offers personalized coaching and skills development for Hearthstone, Overwatch, League of Legends, DOTA2, Heroes of the Storm and StarCraft II.
In addition to the funding, the company announced an exclusive long-term coaching and curricula partnership with NRG eSports and an exclusive partnership with StrifeCro from Cloud9.
