The new funding is separate from the $300,000 Copa Fantasy received through Exel by Merak last year. Copa Fantasy plans to increase its weekly contests from around four to more than 20. Saudi-based fantasy sports platform Copa Fantasy is finalising a $750,000 seed round as it looks to accelerate growth across Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region, PocketGamer.biz can reveal. “Over the past year, we've validated our unit economics and now we're focusing on growth," Copa Fantasy CEO Abdullah Eid told Pocketgamer.biz. An anchor investor has been secured for the round, alongside several smaller investors, with Copa Fantasy finalising the remaining commitments.
