mr_me #1527 Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) The number crunchbase is reporting is a fraction of what's been discussed. Intellivision Entertainment is a private company and crunchbase can only report what's been officially shared with them. Edit: For example crunchbase might have agreements for data with some venture capitalists but not others, resulting in incomplete information.

And I can tell you that the numbers listed are very old. That only represented our very first "Family & Friends" listing round. Nothing after that. Also doesn't include Dubai or Europe offices. Doing almost $3M for a Family & Friends/Seed/pre-Seed round is pretty much unheard of! Not many companies that can raise that kind of money just based off an idea with no software/hardware to show. You'll also notice that the last "update" is about Round A. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrBeefy #1531 Posted March 22, 2020 Just thought he might work there. 🤷♀️ Tommy talking to investors... Intellivision Entertainment in the offices after the calls... And then for shiggles. Beefy trying the same... 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also interesting to note that we raised more money in our pre-seed/seed round than Atari did for their entire project. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrBeefy #1535 Posted March 22, 2020 Really? I thought Atari got $2.9 mil, and this shows IE as $2.7 mil. Heck that IGG crap seems so long ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As previously mentioned... that link you sent is incorrect and doesn't count any seed money raised outside the U.S. As I believe you're already aware... we raised over $750,000 just from the Bavarian government alone... which wouldn't be listed on that link. I can google a link if folks are interested in adding it to their scrapbook. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read this one wrong, in which you don't specify that you are including the funds not included on that website when making this statement? Or how you made a comment that didn't include all the information in, that I took at face value and commented on. If you notice I said THIS (this being the website) says $2.7. So I didn't read anything wrong. As that website doesn't include those other things. Right? I know you have raised more than the $2.7. 😁 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a different post and as stated as an additional and "interesting note". "...we raised more money in our pre-seed/seed round than Atari did for their entire project." No reason to doubt it or try to pick it apart was there? I didn't think so. Is this what the level of conversation has fallen to in this thread? Both thrilling and fascinating. At least we have testicle smashing .gif's so we can all be friends again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My company shut down so I’m working from home but as it turns out I’m working more than usual since I have to support all the employees that don’t have their head wrapped around Remote Desktop Haven’t had a lot of game time.

PeterPepper #1549 Posted March 22, 2020 I am very late to the conversation but I finally got to watch the youtube trailer. I am super excited for Skiing -- I don't know how to convey my freakish excitement over this game haha. That was the first game we had for our Intellivision II and I played it religiously. I didn't even have overlays for it until I was an adult and found them on Ebay. I would just select a number on the pad and go with it. I missed out on the Founder's Edition but I definitely want to get in on VIP. I really hope Space Armada is going to be on there eventually. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
