Background

MetaZoo was founded in 2020 at the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis. After years of planning and trial and error, Michael Waddell finally decided to create the world that has become known as MetaZoo.

Since its official launch in March 2021, MetaZoo has absolutely exploded onto the TCG scene.

We can't put product out fast enough, and when we do it sells out almost instantly. It's become less of a question of how to get people to love MetaZoo, and more a question of how we meet the demand that people have to fully immerse themselves into our world.

Date Launched: August 1st, 2020

Team Size: 15

HQ Location: 3565 E Post Rd, Ste 114 Las Vegas Nevada 89120

Fundraising Status: Fully funded on Kickstarter and looking into further rounds of funding in the future.
