Newly formed UK-based digital board game developer and publisher Meeple Corp has raised £500,000 ($629K) in pre-seed funding to accelerate its mission of bringing tabletop games to digital platforms.

Founded by former Marmalade Game Studio senior programmer Matt Hilson and ex-Electric Square game designer Harri Elmer, Meeple Corp partners with publishers to digitize board games. Its debut title, Kingdomino Digital, is set to launch later this year.

Investors include Hiro Capital, The Mini Fund, and industry angels. Hiro Capital co-founder Ian Livingstone praised the team, stating that the investment supports their vision to create top-tier digital board game experiences.

CEO Matt Hilson emphasized the company’s goal of expanding game communities and advancing technology to offer fresh experiences for board game fans.
