Avg Check Size

The Games Fund is a gaming-focused VC founded by ex-MY.GAMES corporate venture team members who previously managed $100M and invested in 35+ companies before spinning out in 2021, and they exclusively invest in video game startups with a focus on emerging markets like Eastern/Central Europe, Cyprus, Nordics, and MENAT rather than the typical US-only approach. The fund positions itself as active advisors who ride shotgun with studios, targeting AA-budget games ($5-15M) and willing to lead at very early stages because the partners are former game developers and operators themselves.
