(“Proje”) whereby the Company will borrow an aggregate of US$560,000 (the “Loan”).

Founder & CEO of Proje, Farid Dordar, is a former world kickboxing champion and Founder and former CEO of Perfectmind, a leader in the sports-tech industry that resulted in a multi-million dollar exit.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Loan for general working capital purposes. GameOn reported $207,151 in revenue in Q1, 2022, up from $2,791 in Q1, 2021. Management believes that the Company is on track to reach $1m in revenue in 2022, not including income from revenue share arrangements, and is on track for profitability in 2023.

“This strategic partnership with Proje sets us up to not only survive the current market conditions, but thrive beyond that,” said Matt Bailey, CEO of GameOn. “The cash injection, as well as the booked revenue scheduled to go live in Q3, Q4, and next year, has us on track for self-sustainability and profitability in 2023.”
