Overview

Nexus builds software that enables video game developers to integrate native Support-a-Creator programs into their games via API-driven sales attribution and referral systems. Its platform handles global payouts, taxes, and delivers performance data and analytics so development teams can focus on finalizing their games. Nexus also supports studios on establishing influencer relationships, marketing, and activations. The company intends to use the new funding to continue building out the self-service side of the Nexus platform to enable rapid implementation of Support-a-Creator programs. Nexus was launched in 2020 and is led by CEO Justin Sacks. The company raised $10M in the reported funding round. Chrono.gg operates an online game distribution portal that curates an evergreen library and sells one game at a time. It focuses on engaging consumers through content creators and offers turnkey branded stores that allow creators to build personalized digital storefronts within minutes. The company partners with publishers and high-profile creators to drive awareness, help independent developers gain exposure, and share sales with influencers. Chrono.gg plans to use new funds to grow its team, build its portfolio, and bring more triple‑A brands to the platform in 2020 and beyond. The business says its creator stores can materially increase creator earnings by connecting the sales they drive back to them. The company is Austin, Texas–based, now in its fourth year, and has 14 employees.
