February 3, 2025, Singapore – GOAT Gaming, the leading platform for competitive and casual gaming on Telegram with over 5 million active users, today announced a USD 4M strategic funding round with TON Ventures, Karatage, Amber, and Bitscale participating. This latest round brings GOAT Gaming’s total funding to $15M, reinforcing GOAT Gaming vision of a future where gaming on Telegram becomes the most accessible gateway to Web3, onboarding the next billion users into a player-owned economy.
The funding will accelerate GOAT Gaming’s vision to host hundreds of games, integrate autonomous agents, and deliver seamless, AI-driven gaming experiences.
GOAT Gaming, a brand from the creators of Mighty Bear Games, represents the next evolution in interactive entertainment. Building on Mighty Bear’s legacy of adapting quickly to emerging platforms—from Apple Arcade to UEFN—Goat Gaming is positioned at the cutting edge of game development and distribution on new platforms, starting with Telegram.
Since launching on Telegram in August, GOAT Gaming has rapidly scaled to 5M active users driven by the success of games like Waifu Clash and Kitty Solitaire. Now, the next phase of GOAT Gaming’s growth is unlocking its AI-powered experiences for gamers within Telegram’s Mini Apps.
GOAT Gaming’s proprietary AI technology has been refined since 2016, enabling the team to ship 37 games in 2024—some in as little as one week. Now, this technology is being shared with the community through AlphaGOATs, autonomous AI agents powered by GOAT Gaming’s dataset of over 100 million gaming transactions. With a sale starting on February 6th, AlphaGOATs are transforming AI into a Web3-powered platform that allows anyone—not just developers—to create, compete, and earn effortlessly, setting the stage for a new era of democratized gaming.
“We believe that Telegram is the most accessible gateway to Web3 and GOAT Gaming is on the way to hosting hundreds of games, integrating countless autonomous agents, and delivering a seamless, AI-driven gaming experience,” said Simon Davis, CEO of GOAT Gaming. With the launch of AlphaGOATS and our ongoing creation of mini-games, we are building an entirely new sector of gaming and entertainment, one where players are empowered to profit from their contributions like never before. By the end of 2025, we will have launched 50+ games powered by our advanced AI tooling suite, AlphaAI, while partnering with third-party studios to bring their games to our millions of Telegram users worldwide.”
“The rise of tap-to-earn applications in 2024 played a pivotal role in drawing millions of new users into the Web3 gaming space. We are now evolving from tap-to-earn, to richer and more engaging Web3 gaming experiences. GOAT Gaming is at the forefront of this shift and has seamlessly combined quality gaming with Web3 engagement.” commented Inal Kardan, Partner at TON Ventures. “The GOAT Gaming team also leverages cutting-edge AI, powered by their exclusive dataset of over 100 million gaming transactions, to improve the quality and depth of gaming experiences. By combining this level of data, expertise, and proven success in shipping AI-powered games, the GOAT Gaming studio has built a competitive edge in Telegram and TON’s flourishing gaming ecosystem.”
