The firm invests in gaming startups of all stages, from Pre-Seed to Pre-IPO, supporting developers, publishers, platforms, indie games, and software & infrastructure companies. Griffin is founder-friendly, cares deeply for the industry, and brings decades of investment, advisory and operational experience. The firm invests approximately half of its capital in platforms and infrastructure firms, and the other half in content and game studios, with deal sizes ranging from $1 million to $20 million.

The potential of indie game development is incredible. The $100 million this fund makes available to indie studios is going to result in so many more great games being brought to audiences that will love them.
