VR and AR developer Dark Slope lands $1.5 mln seed round

Dark Slope Studios, a Toronto-based virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) developer, has raised more than $1.5 million in a seed-stage financing. Steven DeNure, formerly president and COO of DHX Media, was the only disclosed investor. He will join the board. Founded last year by President CJ Hervey, COO Dan Fill, Technical Director Ben Unsworth and Executive Chair Raja Khanna, Dark Slope creates free-roam multiplayer content for the location-based entertainment market and enterprise customers. The seed round's proceeds will be used to launch Dark Slope's first VR offering, Scarygirl Mission Maybee, hire staff and advance its technology and product line.
