Spekter Games has raised $5 million in seed funding to build crypto-integrated games for social platforms, with the round led by a16z Speedrun and participation from Impact46, London Bay Venture Partners, BRV Capital Management, Chamaeleon, Accelerator Ventures, and Alumni Ventures.
Founded in 2024 by Taehoon Kim, Spekter Games is building web3-hybrid games that integrate blockchain elements without sacrificing gameplay. Its first title, Spekter Agency, is live on Telegram, offering social gameplay with crypto-native incentives built in.
The raise comes as a growing number of gaming startups experiment with new monetisation layers on messaging platforms, aiming to lower onboarding friction while embedding ownership into game loops.
For Impact46, the investment follows the launch of its $40 million gaming fund earlier this year, marking a continued push into global interactive entertainment and infrastructure.
