Istanbul-based Pine Games has secured $2.25 million in pre-seed funding to create innovative, IP-based mobile puzzle games. The investment round was led by 500 Emerging Europe and Laton Ventures.
Pine Games plans to address the challenges of user acquisition in a post-privacy era by integrating well-known IPs into its games. The company aims to create timeless, evergreen gaming experiences that resonate with a broad audience.
Laton Ventures’ founding partner, Görkem Türk, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “The formation of Pine Games, merging the heritages of successful unicorns into a single founding team, is an exciting testament to the groundbreaking potential this collaboration holds.”
