Brynjólfur Erlingsson spent 25 years building analytics and research teams at major game companies, including titles like Minecraft, Battlefield, Crusader Kings, The Hunter, EVE Online, and Toca Boca, before moving into venture investing at Behold Ventures. That operator background, combined with long-standing board roles in Iceland's gaming scene and a lifelong personal interest in games dating back to childhood, shapes how he evaluates founders and studios today.

Notable Investments
Behold Ventures is run by former game developers, producers, and studio leaders from companies like DICE, EA, CCP, Mojang, and Massive Entertainment, and its funding comes almost entirely from gaming veterans and companies such as Krafton and NetEase, giving it a built-in industry network most funds don't have. It focuses mainly on Nordic game studios but also backs supporting tools and platforms, closed its first fund oversubscribed at SEK 550M (including the European Investment Fund's first-ever investment in gaming), and encourages founders to vet the fund just as carefully as it vets them.
