Scopely will hold a new round of financing from the valuation of the entire company at $3 billion

The developer and publisher of mobile games Scopely is negotiating a new round of financing. The company is going to raise $200 million. As part of the transaction, the total value of the company “on paper” will be $3 billion.

The planned funding round will be the ninth for the mobile publisher. The last time Scopely attracted investments was six months ago — in March 2020. Then the company also raised $200 million, but then it was estimated at a much more modest $1.9 billion. In total, $658 million has been invested in the publisher to date.

As Bloomberg notes, citing anonymous sources, the main investors will be Wellington Management and NewView Capital. It is reported that the publisher is negotiating to raise at least $200 million during the round.

Scopely has not officially announced its plans. Representatives of NewView and Wellington have also not yet commented on the situation.

Scopely was founded in 2011 in California, USA. According to AppMagic, the company’s monthly revenue is approximately $50 million. For example, in January 2020, it was at the level of $30 million. At the same time, for the whole of 2019, Scopely earned $475 million.

The company’s main blockbusters are MARVEL Strike Force, Star Trek Fleet Command and YAHTZEE With Buddies Dice Game. Only their total revenue since 2015 amounted to about $700 million. Note that MARVEL Strike Force belongs to the American studio FoxNextGames, which Scopely bought from Disney earlier this year.
