Shotcall Allows Fans to Game with their Favorite Streamers

Gaming has recently grown in popularity due to the coronavirus pandemic with many people remaining in their homes to stay safe. The Twitch gaming platform is known for its notable Twitch streamers and content. The company Shotcall recently announced the close of a 2.2 million dollar seed round led by Initial Capital, New Stack and Lerer Hippeau.

Shotcall was founded by Thomas Gentle, Gordon Li and Riley Auten with the goal of increasing the engagement for streamers by giving their fans what they really want which is to play together with their favorite streamers. With the help of Shotcall, streamers can now connect with their fans in a way that not only gives that fan a chance to really connect with them, but which also creates more high-quality shareable content.

Shotcall allows the streamers to create or set up a tournament or an event such as a charity event. The good thing about this is that the fans can get in on action. It organizes these community events, giving the streamer control over the length of each gaming session, how much they’d like to charge to participate and the rules of engagement.
