officially-licensed sports gaming company Sequoia Games secures Series A funding

Sequoia Games, Inc. is an officially-licensed sports gaming company, creating games that seamlessly connect physical and digital experiences. FLEX NBA, the company’s first product, is an officially-licensed board game created in partnership with the NBA and National Basketball Players Association. The battle tile game fuses professional sports, the latest in augmented reality (AR) technology through the game’s mobile companion app, and a registration system that identifies and tracks ownership of player tiles, called Flexagons.

“We are extremely excited and proud to join Sequoia Games on their vision of combining AR, board games and blockchain technology,” said David Garcia, CEO and Managing Partner of Borderless Capital. “The next frontier in technology is about removing the borders between the physical and metaverse experience, and Sequoia Games is redefining board game interactivity by bringing a new dimension to how games can bridge that physical and digital realm.”

“We are thrilled to welcome a group of investors who bring diverse and successful backgrounds that are authentic to the products that we are providing for our consumers,” said Eric Chan, CFO of the Los Angeles Clippers and advisor to Sequoia Games, Inc. “Their knowledge and guidance – in addition to the experience of our executive and advisory teams – provides an important strategic advantage and positions Sequoia Games for long-term sustainable success.”
