Phynd, a subscription-free cloud gaming platform for smart TVs, has raised $10 million to bring high-quality gaming to internet-connected devices without the need for expensive hardware. Founded by André Swanston, the platform aims to capitalize on the large installed base of smart TVs and advances in cloud computing to provide ad-supported gaming experiences. The funding round was led by Wellington Management, with Phynd's beta launch anticipated in 2025. The platform promises to make gaming more accessible and lucrative for developers and advertisers through non-intrusive ads and sponsorships.
