It hopes to further expand the fund with additional external investment in future and will support these efforts by setting up an advisory board

“It is extremely important for us to support the fast-paced, rich-in-opportunity esports market,” commented Play2Live CEO Alexey Burdyko.

“Every day we receive calls from projects preparing for their token sale, or various startups looking for financial investments. To help them in the most efficient way and to identify the most promising ones, we decided together with Play2Live partners and investors to launch a fund and start working right away. “

Play2Live has itself raised over $30 million in investment and recently announced it was creating its own blockchain architecture called Level Up Chain.
