About company
Sisu Game Ventures is an exclusive advisory and investment company focused 100% on games. It was set up in 2014 and focuses on the best gaming companies in the Nordic region. We only consider investments outside of the Nordics if they come via our own network.
The Sisu team consists of Samuli, Paul, Erik, Kalle, Moaffak, and Jere - all of whom have extensive backgrounds in the game industry and startup circles, both as entrepreneurs and investors. We've founded and built sixteen game companies since the early 90s and had several successful exits.
We like to invest very early, preferably first money in - pre-revenue and most often pre-product.
The main thing is that we invest in teams - the people making the games - not just individual IPs or metrics. In addition to money, we invest our time and expertise to help level up the company for the next phase.
The Nordic game industry is known for open collaboration and that’s a principle we hold dear also among our own portfolio companies and the investors we co-invest with. This accelerates the development of the companies giving them an extra edge over the global competition.
Sisu’s own investors come mostly from the game industry including dozens of individuals and a few game companies as well.
Success story
We have been a part of building the Nordic game industry from the ground up. Having founded the first games company, Funcom, in the Nordic region in 1992. And the second ever games company in Finland, Remedy Entertainment. We've also supported some of the most prominent games studios since starting Sisu in 2014.
