Tactical raise to set the Metaverse ablaze with our community-first, high-impact mission

MetaGoons, a pioneering metaverse ecosystem and Web 3.0 incubator, is proud to announce the close of our $2 million seed round. With investments from marquee institutions and strategic organizations to grassroots crypto natives and angels from over 11 countries, this tactical raise will turbocharge our ambitions and fuel our initiatives to build the first holistic, vertically integrated Metaverse gaming, entertainment, investment, and development guild. Our unique, outside-the-box approach has set us apart from traditional players in the space and will continue our mission to create a culture-defining paradigm that captures global fanbases. The faithful and growing MetaGoons community is here to play a transformative role in play-to-earn adoption and accelerate the revolutionary movement that is Web 3.0.

Special thanks to our investors and community members

A massive thank you to our lead investor Flying Falcon for their continued faith and support. Additionally, special thanks to Arrington Capital, Hof VC, and LD Capital for their belief in our vision. We are also incredibly grateful for our pioneering friends and advocates in the industry who have provided us their unwavering support on this journey — Jihoz from Axie Infinity, Aleksander from Sky Mavis, YGG, Tin from Sipher, Path @Cryptopathic, and Baronar Media, along with our team members and advisors in the Philippines, Singapore, London, India, Malaysia, California, Miami, and New York. Lastly and most importantly, we would like to express our endless and deepest appreciation for everyone in the MetaGoons community; you all are our heart and our soul, and we wouldn’t be here without each and every one of you.

“Since our headline Genesis land estate purchase in early 2021, we have been quietly thinking about what’s next. We have been researching, exploring, and meeting with founders and movers in the Metaverse. In our meeting with the co-founders Donnell and Jacky, we were sold on not just their vision and dedication but also who they are as people. The MetaGoons build on the traditional guild model. It’s a cultural movement to bridge the gap between crypto native and mainstream adoption by providing a platform that brings the best of IRL to the Metaverse in a way we’ve never seen before“ — Flying Falcon

A promise is a promise — MetaGoons joins Team Pacquiao GG as exclusive metaverse gaming partner

To our Filipino scholars, we love you all; this dream and the vision started because of you. To the non-stop Discord chats, late night streams, morning voice calls (special shoutout to the roosters in Cebu always crowing in the background), we live for your positive energy and believe in building a better future for all of you. By passing our stringent selection process, intensive training, and high standards of excellence to strive for, you are all part of something special. On our promise of becoming the hottest guild in the Philippines that you all can feel proud of, we are partnering with your national hero, Senator Manny Pacquiao’s esports team — Team Pacquiao GG as their exclusive metaverse gaming partner.

Manny’s ethos of community, competition, and charity, aligns with our fighter’s mentality of rebels of the status quo, trailblazers navigating the unbeaten path. We are not just gamers and blockchain enthusiasts, but believers of empowerment and individualism. We are a cultural force that appeals to the arts, music, and entertainment community, channeling the spirits of a renegade explorer. We cannot wait to announce our roster of additional high profile partnerships around the world that will unlock completely new sets of demographics to learn about play-to-earn and blockchain! Stay tuned for the next MetaGoon we bring into our community.

About MetaGoons

To those who have followed us closely, you may know us under our previous moniker, God Wars Dungeon Guild (GWDG). A lot has happened since our beginnings in July 2021 — we have since completed our automation stack and implemented our onboarding and training process to rapidly scale to over 1000 top quality scholars. Our unwavering intent is to become the premier guild in the world, with overachieving scholars looking to continuously improve. We salute you all for the 60% increase in $SLP earned/month compared to August. The pride we exude can also be exemplified with top players (3000+ MMR) leaving other guilds to join MetaGoons and play with us.

For our next leg of growth, we are starting to level-up our pool of scholars and are forming an esports and content creation arm. We welcome anybody with such talents to join us. We are the best of the best, and will continue our strides in solidifying this position and align with like-minded communities.

Our MetaGoons rebrand revealed at NFT Basel in Miami received significant interest from the arts, music and entertainment communities — a testament to the power of the cultural force we are creating and the massive impact our mission can make in capturing non-crypto and gaming audiences alike. This is only the start — we cannot wait to announce additional upcoming partnerships around the world that will unlock new participants and communities to the play-to-earn and blockchain ecosystems.

Stay tuned for more big things we’ve been cooking up behind the scenes!
