Payment Labs, has closed a $3.25 million oversubscribed seed round aimed at fueling its growth across esports, sports, and the broader creator economy.

Led by Aperture Venture Capital with participation from Capital Eleven, ESPMX, and other investors, the funding underscores the growing demand for Payment Labs' tailored payment infrastructure — one designed specifically for high-growth industries grappling with multi-layered payout structures and international regulatory challenges.

Payment Labs has attracted clients such as Microsoft, SEGA, X Games, The Snow League, and Arnold Sports.

For CEO Han Park, the platform’s roots in esports helped shape its ability to solve complex, international payout issues.

“In esports, I became very familiar with the international nature of competitions, the compliance and regulatory issues that those create, the need to track down at times hundreds of individual payees, and more,” Park explained. “Those lessons translated directly to Payment Labs’ work in sports and other industries, where we've found success in eliminating similar pain points with frictionless solutions. Now, we’re looking forward to expanding those offerings and scaling our team to continue to make payments faster, easier, and compliant.”
