Investing in Games startups
A group of games industry veterans, looking to invest and help out with games and games-related companies.
A group of games industry veterans, looking to invest and help out with games and games-related companies.
We are a group of games industry veterans who have built successful games companies. We have raised money many times over, we’ve scaled teams, we’ve got our hands dirty and learned by getting things wrong.
We look for companies to invest in as angels, where we think we can add value and help avoid the mistakes we’ve made ourselves.
We either invest individually or as a syndicate but we are not a fund and our members invest in what they are interested in. As a collective we use our areas of expertise to assess the opportunities presented.
There is no pressure on any angel to invest; it is entirely an opt-in to each investment, but this means that every investor is fully engaged.
We are always looking for people considering becoming Angels and Angels from outside of games to encourage them to invest in games, and will do what we can to build their confidence and help them.
We’re a group of people who have experienced the challenges that you’re facing now and the challenges you’ll be facing in the future.
We hope that we can help and at the very least stop you from making the mistakes that we made
We are games industry veterans and we have a decent understanding of the industry, so what we need is a clear picture of your game, your team, and your plan.
Here’s what matters most to us:
1. The Product
2. The Team
3. The Plan
4. The Business
5. The Ask
We back good teams that show they can work together, who know what they’re building and how to build it and why it's a great opportunity. That's how you get our attention…
We especially like engaging with people who have first-hand experience that could benefit the companies that we engage with. Get in touch. We don’t require investors with infinite bank balances. We value people that want to help angel-phase companies achieve their goals.
If you're from outside of Games and are interested in the Video Games Industry, we would be happy to share the dealflow with you. This helps the companies we work with to get further.
