Games publishers are perpetually looking to grow their user base, turning to the likes of app-install ads and other marketing to do so, and once they do have players on board, they are forever looking for ways to keep them engaged. Triumph believes that an engine to incorporate real-money tournaments has an opportunity to carve out a place in that market, which hasn\u2019t seen much in the way of innovation.<\/p>\n

Niko Bonatsos, managing director of General Catalyst, believes that another one of the reasons Triumph may catch on with the market is that it\u2019s a relatively uncontested space, so far at least. Papaya Gaming, Avia Games, MPL and Skillz are among the others developing real-money services for skills-based games, but of those only Skillz offer tools for third-party developers, and those are harder to implement and are more costly to use.<\/p>\n

It also helps that the founders are bright and full of ideas for how to make games more interesting to the average player, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than anything, this is an investment in the two of them, and in what is a very interesting space and pretty compelling idea.\u201d He added that they also have ideas about user acquisition and related areas that might also enter the frame at some point.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
