GAMING STARTUP EDGEGAP SECURES $7 MILLION INVESTMENT TO HELP DEVELOPERS TACKLE LAG AND MANAGE INFRASTRUCTURE

Published

on

 

Edgegap, a Montreal based video game technology startup, announces a $7 million series A investment led by Konvoy Ventures. The funding will enable the company to continue developing its infrastructure platform, built to reduce online gaming latency and automate infrastructure needs across the industry.

Edgegap’s platform leverages edge computing, essentially moving data centers closer to players to tackle lag and improve online experiences. Combined with a proprietary user-server decision-making engine, it empowers developers to launch new game servers and applications closer to players within seconds.

Since its seed investment of $1 million in 2019, Edgegap has tested its technology with two triple A studios, improving latency for 91 per cent of the players involved. On average, round-trip time (the time taken for information to reach its destination and return) was reduced by 46.5 per cent per player and for a quarter of players this dropped to below 50 milliseconds.

“Our goal is to build on the idea of a content delivery network, which already exists for cloud applications. 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,” said Edgegap CEO, Mathieu Duperre. “We see this as a major paradigm shift for developers looking to distribute their applications worldwide.”

Joining Konvoy Ventures in this funding round is San Francisco-based early-stage venture capital fund GFR Fund, following their investment from the previous seed round. Multinational converged broadband, video and mobile communications company, Liberty Global  and Akamai, leader in powering and protecting digital experiences, have also invested, bringing their expertise in massive scale infrastructure.

With this latest investment, Edgegap will expand its team to build additional services for game studios and beyond. Its aim is to continue helping developers create better real-time applications through leveraging a premium infrastructure, without the cost and the hassle of managing it.

Published

Bragg Gaming Group has announced that its preliminary unaudited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025 are expected to come within its previously issued guidance ranges for both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company anticipates the fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results to include the following highlights:

Fourth quarter 2025 revenues to be approximately EUR 27.7 million, an increase of 1.8% from EUR 27.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, and Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately EUR 6 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin2 of approximately 16.6%), compared to EUR 4.7 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 17.2%) in the fourth quarter of 2024. High-margin proprietary content revenue grew by 70% in Q4-2025 over Q4-2024, primarily driven by growth in the US.

Full year 2025 revenues to be approximately EUR 106.1 million, an increase of 4.0% from EUR 102.0 million in 2024, and Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately EUR 16.6 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 15.6%), compared to EUR 15.8 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 15.5%) in 2024. The Company notes that, excluding the Netherlands given its challenging regulatory environment, expected 2025 revenues would represent an 18% increase from 2024, driven by the Company’s performance in Brazil and the US.

These figures are preliminary and unaudited, and actual revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin may differ.

Bragg is providing this information at this time because of planned investment community meetings to be held ahead of the release of its fourth and full year 2025 financial results and conference call in March 2026.

Anticipated Financial Highlights for 2026

Revenue Guidance: Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2026 is expected to be in the range of EUR 97.0 million to EUR 104.5 million, despite Bragg anticipating that it will have to continue navigating increasingly complex regulatory compliance requirements and recent tax changes in the Netherlands and other regions in which the Company operates.

Adjusted EBITDA Guidance: Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2026 is forecasted to be in the range of EUR 16.0 million to EUR 19.0 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 16.0% to 18.0%), supported by factors which include a continuing shift toward higher-margin product offerings and the structural cost savings expected from Bragg’s recently announced initiative to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to drive cost efficiencies and improve operational excellence.

Matevž Mazij, Chief Executive Officer for Bragg, said: “Based on the preliminary results, we delivered another record year in 2025, as demonstrated by increased revenue and higher Adjusted EBITDA. Now in 2026, we remain confident in our ability to successfully navigate evolving international regulatory and taxation developments, continue to increase our overall content market share in Brazil and the United States, aggressively pursue emerging alternative markets, such as Historical and Live Racing and Prediction Markets, and move into new jurisdictions that offer opportunities for higher margin content business. At the same time, we plan on thoughtfully harnessing the power of the Bragg AI Brain to reduce our overall cost structure, drive EBITDA growth, and move toward sustained net profitability. We look forward to updating investors as we progress.”
