Backstageplay raises C$150K to relaunch its social gaming platform
What's the deal? BackstageplayDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → has arranged a non-brokered private placement to raise up to C$150,000, issuing up to 1,875,000 common shares at eight cents each. The British Columbia corporation trades on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange.
What's the endgame? Proceeds will fund development of a new social gaming platform and content, integration of third-party solutions, and general working capital. The company is relaunching the platform in 2026 to connect brands, fans, and live entertainment through engagement, monetisation, and loyalty-driven experiences.
Why now? The raise marks a step-up from Backstageplay's previous financing, announced in May 2025 and approved that June. It closed one tranche of that offering before terminating it.
What could go wrong? The offering remains subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, and each closing depends on receiving all necessary corporate and regulatory sign-offs. Securities carry a statutory hold period of four months and a day from issuance.
The signal: A six-figure private placement from a NEX-listed issuer is a modest raise, but it signals continued investor appetite for social gaming ventures betting on brand and fan engagement as a monetisation model.
