Backbone pitch deck: $40M for bringing Xbox games to iPhone
Backbone is the brainchild of a young entrepreneur Maneet Khaira, who was working at Google as an intern when he came up with his startup idea for a device that could turn an iPhone into a portable Xbox. Backbone One is truly the first mobile gaming controller that turns an iPhone into a portable gaming console. Backbone's $40 million Series A investment was led by Index Ventures, with celebrity investors including Kevin Hart, The Weeknd, Post Malone, Amy Schumer, and music producer Christopher Comstock, aka "Marshmello," who previously invested in Backbone's earlier round. Compact, natural, and comfortable, the Backbone One iOS controller wraps your iPhone in a high-quality gamepad shell that’s satisfying to play, well-constructed, and accompanied by a genuinely useful app. iPhone’s Lightning port automatically pick up connectivity to Backbone One and the companion app has a lot of useful features too. It can capture, edit and upload gaming content as well as supports voice chat with friends that works across any app. Read more: vip.graphics/backbone-pitch-deck/ See the deck: bestpitchdeck.com/backbone
