The company aims to tackle the challenge of gamer acquisition as the gaming industry continues to expand
United States, October 28, 2025 / Mintfunnel, a Coinbound Company – The way we play, connect, and entertain ourselves online is evolving before our eyes. Game studios are spending billions every year on user acquisition, yet most new players churn within weeks. On top of that, cheating continues to erode trust and drive revenue loss across gaming communities. And while professional esports attract the spotlight, the vast majority of gamers, the very communities that keep these games alive, are left without a place to truly compete and connect.
At N3MUS, we’re changing that. Our platform empowers gaming communities through automated tournaments, AI-driven anti-cheat, and community engagement tools, making player acquisition, retention and engagement easier for game studios, esports teams, and blockchain networks.
Since launching 10 months ago, we’ve seen incredible growth, hosting 190+ tournaments, engaging 35,000+ players, and processing over 2.5 million transactions, with a steady 90% month-over-month increase in player activity. These milestones confirm what we’ve believed from day one: communities crave fair, accessible, and rewarding competition.
With a new fundraising round being led by Harbour Industrial Capital (https://www.harbourindustrial.com), we are ready for our next chapter of expansion across the gaming industry. This will include scaling player distribution across multiple games, helping studios reach new audiences and seamlessly redistributing players across our network when engagement drops. Our AI ensures every participant is a real gamer, not bots or token farmers, fostering genuine competition and driving higher retention across partner games.
“The N3MUS team is addressing a key issue that is critical to every new game launch and we believe N3MUS is taking a unique approach to add value to the growing online gaming movement”, said Mario Altenburger, Co-founder and CIO of Harbour Industrial Capital. “The team has deep expertise in both gaming and web3 and we are thrilled to be supporting their next wave of growth.”
We’re also advancing our AI-powered anti-cheat technology and expanding developer integrations to deliver automated, transparent, and verifiable competition to millions of players worldwide.
This fundraising round follows early investment from Arrington Capital, Borderless Capital, Moonbeam Foundation and others who shared our vision from the start, alongside N3MUS’ participation in leading Web3 accelerator programs across Moonbeam, and Techstars.The future of online competition belongs to the players.
