New Wave Esports, Trueclaim Exploration Inc. and Subco (a subsidiary of Trueclaim) merged on June 7th, allowing it to bypass the typically-lengthy procedure of listing itself for public investment.
One of the investments made by New Wave Esports was in Canadian based team Lazarus through Tiidal Gaming. Its investment continued through fantasy sports and esports betting platform PlayLine, which was co-founded by Michael Bisping and Roy Hibbert.
It also has production and broadcast company Even Matchup Gaming and technology development company Thunderbolt CDG in its portfolio.
Mitre recently spoke at ESI London at Twickenham Stadium about the company, its offerings, and how it perceives the esports industry.
Esports Insider says: New Wave Esports has been making waves (excuse the pun) by investing in companies recently, and it has now made another big move in terms of investment but in a very different way. It’ll be interesting to see the appetite for such a thing!
