Regulatory News:
2CRSi (Paris:2CRSI) today announces it has invested €400k in the
capital increase launched by Gamestream, world leader in B2B video
game streaming services.
This is the most recent show of support in the course of 2CRSi’s
partnership with Gamestream, including its initial investment of
€1m in late December 2018 and Gamestream’s use of 2CRSi servers
since 2018. This subscription will raise 2CRSi’s stake in
Gamestream to 14.4%.
Founded in 2015 with a commercial launch in 2019, Gamestream
became, in less than two years, the world leader in cloud gaming
solutions for the B2B market. The start-up provides telecom and
hospitality professionals (hotels, hospitals, etc.) with turnkey
multi-device solutions (TVs, smartphones, PCs and tablets) in
Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Gamestream thus offers its
services to giants such as Etisalat (1st telecom operator in the
UAE), Telkom Indonesia (1st operator in Indonesia), Sunrise (1st 5G
telecom operator in Europe) or Medion (1st PC brand in
Germany).
In the interest of offering the best high-resolution gaming
experience (up to 4K), Gamestream exclusively uses 2CRSi servers.
As a result, users enjoy very high-speed access to a catalogue of
video games released by the top publishers on the market.
The €3.5m capital increase just completed marks a decisive step
forward in the development of Gamestream, which has set the
ambitious goal of doubling its size in just two years. The company
aims to pursue an aggressive strategy in order to extend its lead,
with plans to expand its development teams, broaden its content
catalogue and shortly open up a branch in Asia.
Ivan Lebeau, Gamestream co-founder and CEO, commented: “The
success of our capital increase is a very clear signal from
investors across the board. We are proud to have the support of our
longstanding partner 2CRSi, which provides us with the best servers
on the market. We will be using these funds to consolidate our
position as the world leader in the B2B cloud gaming industry.”
Marie de Lauzon, COO of 2CRSI, added: “This investment comes at
a pivotal point in the acceleration of Gamestream’s development.
With the launch of 5G and the take-off of cloud gaming, we firmly
believe that Gamestream has everything it takes to achieve its
growth targets. We are very proud to stand by this rising French
star in the gaming industry.”
Next event: publication of the 2019/2020 results on July
8, 2020 post trading.
