Codices raise sees start-up's value rocket to £8.7m

Launchpad start-up Codices has seen its value balloon to almost £9m, following a recent investment round.

To mark their new investment success and valuation news, tech company Codices is set to launch an exciting new platform in the interactive gaming and entertainment space.

The new platform enables broadcasters to host live interactive shows, with thousands of possibilities for engaging experiences which catapult the audience into the spotlight.

Codices has so far wowed streaming giants and entertainment platforms including Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus and the English Premier League with its live streaming and interactive entertainment tool, 'Quiz Kit' which 1 out of every 20 active Twitch channels has now used.

Codices founder Tim Edwards says the new valuation and investment is welcome news, which will enable the company to focus on its next big product.

"We're incredibly proud of the growth and progress we've made – it's a real vote of confidence that our investors share our vision to democratise the process for creating live interactive shows.

"Before we set it out it was incredibly difficult to create even simple quiz shows online, and we can see through the millions of people using Quiz Kit each month that there is a huge demand for this content. This month we have the largest amount of users we've had since we launched back in 2018. Our next product is built on the knowledge we've gained from Quiz Kit and we can't wait to announce it very shortly."
