We combine 50 years of games industry experience and organisation with raising over 40 MEUR for the whole industry and for 150+ selected individual companies, as well as VC and angel investing in over 20 Nordic game companies to date. We are well known.

A close advisory group of 20+ successful games industry veterans, entrepreneurs, fund managers and analysts, from all five countries, committed to supporting and joining the Nordic Game Ventures founders and core team as fund volume requires and allows.

Our primary ESG (environmental, social and governance) factors are the following.

Environment
Energy is an issue in games, from battery life in handhelds to costs at datacenters, driving awareness and conservation.

Social
Work and workplace issues are being debated today, and we expect our portfolio companies to lead. Diversity and gender balance will ultimately lead to better, more popular products. The companies must have a responsible approach to the appropriateness of product content, and for sensible use, for their target customer groups.

Governance
Nordic Game Ventures will strive to set an example, and require adherence to highest standards, in general conduct and reporting.
   We are subjects of Financial Supervisory Authority oversight in Finland and Sweden, and full code compliant members of Pääomasijoittajat (Finnish Venture Capital Association) and SVCA (Swedish Private Equity & Venture Capital Association).
    Portfolio compliance will be supported by a combination of best practice dissemination and check-list self-evaluation material.

Impact
NGV funds should not be evaluated primarily as Impact investment vehicles. However, the impact of games, and of the games medium on other fields, can possibly not be overstated. We certainly aim to foster a culture of responsibility for the games medium and its development through our investments and in our portfolio companies, while our funds are first and foremost focused on company and industry growth and profitability.

The Nordic Game Ventures funds are fully intentionally open and transparent, rather than closed private partnerships. This is of course for investor security, but also for strategic reasons.

Nordic Game Fund Management Oy received marketing permission by the Financial Supervisory Authority in Finland in March 2019, under the EU Alternative investment fund managers (AIFM) Directive 2011/61/EU.
