Little Umbrella has successfully raised $2 million in funding, driven by the popularity of its social game, Death by AI, which garnered 20 million players within its first three months.

This new funding will allow Little Umbrella to expand its live operations and accelerate the development of new titles using their innovative Playroom game kit.

The leadership team at Little Umbrella is composed of experienced professionals from major companies like Meta, AppLovin, and Gallium Studios, which enhances their innovative approach to social gaming.

Ahmed also noted that the inspiration for their games stems from the desire to provide accessible social experiences on mobile and web platforms, focusing on where friends typically connect.

Little Umbrella aims to deliver games that adapt to social behaviors, ensuring infinite replayability and personalized experiences for players.

The company is dedicated to developing AI-powered social games that enhance player connections within digital communities, particularly on platforms like Discord.

Death by AI is a unique prompt-based survival game facilitated by an AI game master, designed for social play on platforms like Discord, and is also available on the web and iOS.
