WTFast is a Canadian startup founded in 2009 that aims to address the issue of lag in online gaming. With a focus on the eSports industry, WTFast's slogan "We help broadband providers attract gamers, generate revenue, and reduce costs by simplifying traffic management" encapsulates its mission to enhance the online gaming experience. The company boasts a unique approach, leveraging patented network latency improvement software to minimize lag times, thereby improving gamers' online experiences.
One of WTFast's key offerings is the WTFast Gamers Private Network (GPN™), which provides gamers with alternate network paths to improve their connection speeds. This is particularly crucial as lag and network disruptions can significantly impact a player's performance and overall gaming experience. Moreover, the startup has successfully established partnerships with major broadband providers, including Cox, Singtel, and HiNet.
Notably, WTFast recently secured an Angel Round investment of $423.48K on 18 September 2017, with participation from prominent investors such as BITKRAFT Ventures, VA Angels, Nolan Bushnell, and Lance Priebe. This funding is a testament to the company's potential and the confidence that investors have in its innovative solutions for the gaming and broadband industries.
