Ex Populus is a publishing platform and entertainment brand focused on Web3 gaming built entirely on Ethereum. It works closely with independent developers to monetize games in new ways and to connect players with an expanded palette of blockchain-based tools. The company’s team includes executives from desktop gaming, mobile gaming, VR, blockchain and esports. Its first title, LAMO, mixes a fast-paced shooter with blockchain-based collectible functionality and playable characters drawn from entertainment and popular culture. Ex Populus aims to grow a dynamic gaming community, expand its ecosystem, and publish third-party Web3 titles to help build the metaverse. Financially, the company recently closed a heavily oversubscribed $3M seed round led by Animoca Brands.
