    Super League Gaming is a global community platform that offers accessible esports competitions, content and social interactions for amateur gamers. Its platform hosts both online and in-person gaming arenas and enables local gaming experiences, recreational and competitive play, content creation and social networking for players of all ages and skill levels. Founded in 2014, the company began with Minecraft events in movie theaters for kids and has since hosted more than 30,000 kids across six seasons of play. In November 2016 the company expanded its competitive events to include League of Legends in partnership with Riot Games. The company is led by CEO Ann Hand. Financially, Super League completed a $15M Series C and has raised more than $28M to date. Super League Gaming operates an interactive video-game league that stages competitive events in movie theaters across the U.S. and Canada. Founded in 2014 and led by CEO Ann Hand, the company began in the summer of 2015 and is now in its fifth season of Minecraft competition. Its current series, Metropolis Madness, is played in more than 50 theaters across 30 markets in the U.S. and Canada. The company has raised $20M in total funding to date. It intends to use the new funds to launch additional programs for Metropolis Madness. Super League Gaming operates recreational leagues that gather gamers in movie theaters to compete collaboratively using their laptops and mobile devices, with gameplay merged into a single aerial view projected onto the big screen. The company runs six-week league sessions where teams climb a national leaderboard and compete for prizes, and it partners with major chains including Cinemark, Regal, AMC and luxury iPic Theaters. Following a summer preseason tour across 25 major cities and engagement with over 10,000 gamers, Super League planned a Fall League session on Oct. 6 featuring Minecraft and expansion into over 70 U.S. theater gaming arenas.
