Mobile games publisher Carry1st receives $27M in funding. Firms including Bitkraft Ventures and Andreesson Horowitz have invested in its African content creation platform.
When asked about the potential for Web3 adoption in Africa, a spokesperson for Carry1st told Cointelegraph that the region is not unique in its appreciation of gaming but that mobile technology will play a role in democratizing access. “Games are the dominant form of media pretty much everywhere in the world.
“Mobile democratizes access to games such that a person doesn’t need a $1,000 console to enjoy, they can use a gaming device which already exists in their pockets. As a result, mobile gaming adoption has been soaring in Africa due to awesome demographics, increased smartphone penetration, and rising incomes.”
