Frequently asked questions
How does MY.GAMES Venture Capital source its deals?
MGVC sources primarily through its deep integration with the MY.GAMES publishing ecosystem and its Game Drive accelerator program. The Game Drive initiative, run in collaboration with Google and Amazon Web Services, attracts early-stage mobile developers seeking both capital and technical infrastructure. The firm also draws on its network of 1,500 professionals across portfolio companies for referrals.
Does MGVC operate as an independent fund or a corporate venture arm?
It operates as a corporate venture capital arm of MY.GAMES, a global gaming publisher. This means its investment decisions and post-investment support are tied to the strategic interests of the parent company. Portfolio companies gain access to the publisher's distribution, marketing, and production resources, distinguishing it from financially-driven, independent venture funds.
What does MGVC offer beyond capital?
The firm embeds a full-service support team of roughly 25 specialists into its investment model. Services include game design, marketing, business development, production, project management, HR, and investment analysis. This operating-partner approach is designed to help early-stage studios scale without building every internal function from scratch.
What is the Game Drive program?
Game Drive is a business acceleration program run by MGVC in partnership with Google and Amazon Web Services. Now in its third season, the program identifies and supports mobile game developers, with up to $30 million earmarked for follow-on investments into participant projects (per the firm). It functions as both a scouting mechanism and a pre-investment support platform.
What types of gaming platforms does MGVC target?
The firm's investments are concentrated on mobile and PC gaming studios. Its Game Drive program is explicitly focused on mobile game developers, while its broader portfolio includes PC titles. Console and web-based gaming do not appear as primary targets based on current public disclosures.
