## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2018 by CEO Chris Slovak, Challenger Interactive, Inc. develops a platform that hosts video game cash contests using AI. In March 2022, Challenger Interactive, Inc. raised USD 2.82 million in seed funding led by new investor SeventySix Capital, along with investors Acies Investments and Revel Partners as a part of a larger USD 4.15 million seed round.

Challenger Interactive, Inc. develops Challenger, which is an online platform that provides a way for casual gamers to wager with real money against other players on various video games. The company's platform monitors a gamer’s gameplay and translates the video into data used for contest outcomes and behavioral insights. Challenger uses its AI technology to hold cash contests. The company's app detects when other users are available, tracks scores and outcomes, and transfers the wager between players. 

The company plans to use the funding to expand its Xbox and PlayStation consoles, whilst also introducing its contests to new game titles.
