Venture Capital firm Laton Ventures has raised $50 million to support pre-seed and seed-stage gaming startups.
The Istanbul-based VC firm will also invest in non-gaming app companies. Since it launched in April 2024 with $35m, the brand has made five early-stage investments across Türkiye, the US, and Europe, with two companies already securing Series-A funding.
One of those companies is Turkish mobile gaming studio Grand Games, raising $30m just nine months after launching, while the second remains undisclosed.
Laton Ventures is backed by over 40 gaming and tech founders, industry veterans from over 10 countries, and corporations like Supercell and Tibas Ventures. Its investors include former executives from Peak, Gram, Loop, and Huuuge, with institutional investors and global family offices.
A mobile-first strategy
“We believe in talented teams with exceptional vision, developing innovative games, apps, and next-generation entertainment platforms,” said Laton Ventures founding partner Görkem Türk. “We are passionate about the mobile platform and its future evolution, driven by the tailwind of AI and integration of social elements.”
“We are proud of the achievements of our portfolio companies and the progress made in our first year, which has been a testament to the strength of our focused investment strategy.”
“We feel privileged and excited about supporting the best founders in the gaming and apps ecosystems across Türkiye and the globe.”
