Caffeine wants to combine social networking and competitive gaming. Esports is levelling up, and more competitors are trying to push into the increasingly crowded space to win over young consumers. Caffeine wants to stand out as a Twitch competitor with a more “people-centric” spin, featuring a feed of friends’ content that encourages interactions in addition to watching gameplay. The platform has raised $46 million so far and just went public. (tubefilter)
