Sisu Game Ventures is run by people who have actually built game companies themselves—its team has started 16 game studios and invested in more than 60 game startups—and it aims to be the first investor in a company, often before there's even a finished product, helping put together founding teams and support them from the very start under its "Built with Sisu" approach. The fund is closely tied to the Nordic games scene, is funded mostly by people and companies from within the game industry itself, and backs a wide range of teams, from Web3 sports games to politically themed narrative titles, as long as the founders show strong creative and industry know-how.
