Founded in 2018 and based in Newcastle upon Tyne, Hitmarker operates a jobs platform dedicated to esports and video-game roles. The company positions itself as the home of gaming and esports jobs and lists 12,000+ live jobs. To accelerate expansion, Hitmarker raised €568K via an equity crowdfunding campaign that valued the company at 2.5x its November 2019 valuation. The campaign attracted 487 investors from 50 countries across six continents and averaged one investment every 55 minutes, with a largest single investment of €272K from an undisclosed industry figure. In 2021 Hitmarker plans to launch fully localized versions of its platform starting with Brazil and Spain, then target the Asia-Pacific region, alongside a slate of new product features. The company also plans hiring early in the new year to add business development, design/editor, a coordinator for its upcoming Japanese service, and two developers to support expansion.
