Yarnhub previously raised $1.8M from thousands of investors, falling short of its $2.2M goal due to technical and compliance challenges during the initial funding period.
The company is reopening its fundraising round for an additional three weeks in response to ongoing investor demand and missed investment opportunities.
Key updates include the active development of their game, Brass Rain, community playtesting progress, and a planned game release in June 2026.
Live AMA sessions are scheduled in the coming weeks to answer investor questions.
Action Items
Next 3 weeks – Yarnhub Team: Manage reopening of investment round and process new investor applications.
Upcoming weeks – Yarnhub Team: Host and announce live AMA sessions with the team.
Reopening of Funding Round
The initial raise of $2.1M was reduced to $1.8M after compliance checks and platform issues disqualified some investments.
An influx of late and post-close investment interest prompted reconsideration.
After discussion with the community and review of final numbers, the decision was made to reopen the raise for three weeks only.
Funding Process and Platform Issues
The large volume of investors caused frequent downtime on the Picmii platform, delaying and complicating the investment process.
Regulatory requirements for AML and KYC checks led to the exclusion of some investors who could not be reached or failed compliance, reducing the final total raised.
Company and Product Update
Yarnhub is simultaneously growing its animation and gaming divisions.
Brass Rain, the new game, is gaining traction on Steam and is nearing the milestone of being in the top 1000 most wishlisted games.
The first playtest with the community has been completed, and feedback is being used to improve gameplay and replayability.
The initial release of Brass Rain is scheduled for June 2026, with the first two levels, Pointe du Hoc and Castle Itter, confirmed.
Investor Information and Risks
Investments will occur under SEC Regulation CF, following the same process as before.
Risks are highlighted: investment is not guaranteed, and individuals should not invest if it poses financial hardship.
Alternatives to investment, such as wishlisting and following Brass Rain on Steam, are encouraged for supporters.
Decisions
Reopen funding round for three weeks — Driven by significant investor demand, technical/external factors that prevented participation during the initial window, and post-close interest.
