## About

Founded in 2017 and based in Dublin, Ireland, Vela Games Limited operates as a developer of cooperative online games. Travis George (CEO), Lisa Newon George, and Brian Kaiser are the co-founders of the company. In June 2021, Vela Games raised EUR 14.14 million in Series A funding from London Venture Partners and Novator, valuing the company at EUR 45.08 million post-money.

The company offers Evercore Heroes, a cooperative online game where four teams play together to level up their characters and complete challenges within a map. Each game tests players' skills, teamwork, and strategic thinking as they navigate the map and face off against competing teams. The primary goal in Evercore Heroes is that players work together to defeat a boss as a team. In addition, Vela Games also offers founder's packs, which allow users to ensure their position while obtaining additional benefits like exclusive content, a special battle pass, and extra keys to invite friends.
