San Francisco, CA. Nixon Peabody LLP is proud to have advised Game Cloud Network (GCN)—which connects brands, consumers, and influencers through games—in securing $10 million in venture funding from Seismic Capital Company.
Founded in 2019, GCN is an online media company that brings together global leaders in advertising, enterprise media, and gaming to create a means for authentically engaging modern consumers. GCN is the first company in Seismic Capital’s portfolio.
With this investment, Seismic Capital will provide administrative services, including human resources, benefits, accounting, and legal support, allowing GCN to accelerate technology and product development and launch new partnerships. Seismic Capital supports impactful companies across digital and emerging technologies, sustainability, education, and more.
While gaming has become the preferred media format for Gen Z and Gen Alpha, many brands still struggle to authentically engage with consumers.
“This transaction enables GCN to focus on its core mission of transforming the way brands engage with consumers,” said Gregory O’Hara, a partner in the firm’s San Francisco office who led the Nixon Peabody team advising GCN. “GCN understands how to harness the power of games to create seamless and measurable results for brands, and this infusion of capital will help meet their goals.”
In addition to O’Hara, the Nixon Peabody team included partner Shahzad Malik, associate Brian Kenney, senior paralegal Mina Gonzaque-Taylor, and practice assistants Joanne Caruso and Gina Caspersen.
