Signed! Bonnier Growth Media Invests in start-up Abios Gaming

We are proud to announce that Bonnier Growth Media is investing in Abios Gaming, one of the teams from Bonnier Accelerator fall 2014. The company is majority owned by three founders, Anton Janér, Oskar Fröberg and Birger Myrberg.

Among start-up companies in the fast-growing e-sports sector, Abios Gaming has taken the position of link between streaming platforms and e-sport fans and viewers.

”Three years ago, e-sport took off as a global phenomenon, and today there is a fast-growing digital infrastructure with streaming services, huge tournaments and a market for sponsors,” says Oskar Fröberg, CEO for Abios Gaming. “We’ve grown up in this culture and then attended the Stockholm School of Economics and the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology, and now we’ve succeeded in establishing a unique service that the public likes and benefits from.”

“The market for e-sports is still in its infancy, but it’s growing quickly and reaches millions of young people globally, an audience that the media otherwise has difficulty attracting,” says Ulrika Saxon, CEO for Bonnier Growth Media. “We’ve gotten to know the team behind Abios Gaming during the past several months, and we’re impressed of their extensive knowledge and engagement in this fast-growing market.”

Abios Gaming was recently named by The Daily Dot as “the one-stop shop for e-sports streaming.” Read more here: http://www.dailydot.com/esports/abios-gaming-esports-streaming/
