Sisu Game Ventures

Sisu Game Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund focused 100% on games We set up shop in 2014 to support the most promising founders in the industry Sisu has deep roots in the Nordic region, but our portfolio and network of founders are fully global

We like to invest very early, preferably first money in. Pre-revenue and most often pre-product.

The Nordic game industry is known for open collaboration and that’s a principle we also hold dear  among our own portfolio companies and the investors we co-invest with This accelerates the development of the companies giving an extra edge over the global competition

Over the past three decades the Sisu team members have built 16 game companies and invested in over 60 game startups Sisu’s own investors come mostly from the game industry including dozens of individuals and a few game companies as well

The Sisu Family is a collective of like-minded game industry entrepreneurs who are using business sense, creativity and data to build game companies to last for decades Collaboration, knowledge sharing, and blunt honesty are key, but over everything, we value the sisu spirit of not giving up Those who we believe in and support are free to experiment Every iteration, be it a win or a failure, is celebrated as it increases the likelihood of long-term success

Sisu Game Ventures has been the prefect investor for us They have been very pro-active in supporting us and they have an extensive network in the gaming industry that we have often been able to tap into In my mind if I would picture smart money SGV comes to mind
