History

SteelSeries was founded in 2001 by Jacob Wolff-Petersen.[1] The company's original name was Soft Trading, and it was changed to SteelSeries in 2007.[2] Soft Trading made the Icemat and SteelPad mouse mats, the latter of which influenced the company's eventual name change. In 2008, SteelSeries acquired Ideazon, a North American-based developer and manufacturer of gaming peripherals.[3][4]

In 2012, SteelSeries received investments from U.S.-based private equity firm, Catterton Partners, and Chinese-based private equity firm, ClearVue Partners, of undisclosed amounts.[5]

Team and player sponsorships

SteelSeries supports a number of electronic sports individuals and teams through sponsorships and community support.[6][7] Sponsored teams include Major League Gaming and Natus Vincere, among others.[7][8] Past sponsorship include Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen and Tom "Tsquared" Taylor in 2011.[6][9]
