Trivia and puzzle app dubdub raises seed funding from 3one4 Capital, Antler and Stellaris
Swipe-based trivia and puzzle app dubdub has raised $1.3 million in a seed funding round jointly led by 3one4 Capital, Antler and Stellaris Venture Partners.
The newly secured capital will be utilised to expand its product and engineering teams, introduce additional interactive formats and enhance feed personalisation, dubdub said in a press release.
Launched in March 2026 by Kaustubh Priye and Supan Shah, dubdub is a swipe-based trivia and puzzle platform that combines bite-sized questions, mini-games and brain teasers in a short-form interactive format.
The app features content across more than 20 categories, including cricket, Bollywood, general knowledge, pop culture, mythology and logical reasoning. It leverages AI and user engagement patterns to customise challenges according to individual preferences. Users can also compete with friends and compare their scores through the platform.
dubdub aims to shift users away from passive content consumption by introducing questions and mini-games into the experience. Each swipe encourages users to participate through activities such as answering questions, guessing, solving puzzles, identifying subjects, making predictions and competing.
The startup claims to have surpassed 20,000 downloads and reported early retention rates that are above the top percentile for casual gaming apps.
Going forward, dubdub plans to strengthen its product and engineering capabilities and roll out additional interactive formats as it works towards developing a wider short-form interactive entertainment platform.
