The round also saw participation from Info Edge Ventures and a group of prominent angel investors, including Aman Gupta of boAt, Unacademy co-founders Gaurav Munjal and Roman Saini, and Scapia’s Anil Goteti.

Founded in September 2024 by Sudhanshu Bhatia, Mohan Kumar, and Sushant Timmapur, Matiks develops mobile games designed to test mathematical skills through speed, memory, and puzzle challenges.

The platform offers multiplayer duels, daily contests, and global leaderboards, alongside personalised progress tracking. It recently introduced a paid “Creators Programme,” which allows users to build and manage communities within the app.

The startup said it will use the fresh capital to expand its team, which is currently fewer than 20 employees, increase marketing efforts, broaden its game catalogue, and enter new markets. Its apps are available on iOS and Google Play, where it has surpassed 50,000 downloads. In total, the platform has about 100,000 users.
