The Mirror, a Miami, FL-based provider of a gaming and development platform, raised $2.3M in Pre Seed funding.
The round was led by Founders Fund with participation from Konvoy Ventures, Abstract Ventures, Florida Funders, and Palm Tree Crew.
The company intends to use the funds to expand its core team of engineers by hiring talent globally, as well as growing the brand’s presence within the gaming industry.
Founded in 2022 by Jared McCluskey (CEO and CTO), The Mirror simplifies the complexities of game development into a single platform, providing indie game developers and 3D creators with multiplayer networking, real-time collaboration, a physics sandbox, and community-based user-generated content, allowing for simple monetization with marketplace sales of 3D models, textures, and scripts.
The Mirror empowers all developer skill levels, from no-code to advanced with visual scripting and real-time coding. Game developers, ranging from experts to those with no coding experience, can build games and experiences that they can distribute on the platform’s marketplace. Additionally, it provides a marketplace for 3D creators to go beyond showcasing their creations on 2D platforms as they can invite their audience to experience their works in games and worlds in The Mirror.
Since launching, the studio has expanded its team to 15 people – based across the US, Europe and South America.
