TinyBuild has secured investment from Griffin Gaming Partners

Griffin Gaming Partners, a venture capital group, has acquired a 3.24% stake in TinyBuild, a company known for game development and publishing.

The investment firm highlighted TinyBuild's efforts in developing its own intellectual properties and establishing sustainable franchises with international appeal.

Following this announcement, TinyBuild experienced a 5% increase in share value.

Established in 2011, TinyBuild has gained recognition for titles such as Hello Neighbor, Speed Runners, and Party Hard.

Frankie Zhu, a partner at Griffin, commented, "The indie gaming sector is one of the most interesting parts of the industry, consistently bringing forth some of its most lasting franchises."

He added that TinyBuild's collection of unique IPs shows significant potential, and they are eager to support the company's future endeavors.

Alex Nichiporchik, CEO and co-founder of TinyBuild, expressed satisfaction with Griffin's involvement. He noted that Griffin's expertise as a games sector investor is reflected in their confidence in TinyBuild's strategic direction, focus on internal IP, and diversified growth prospects.

In 2025, TinyBuild achieved significant success with their indie game, The King is Watching, a roguelite kingdom builder that has surpassed half a million sales. This success was partly due to a strategic focus on the Chinese market and changes implemented by Valve on Steam.

The latest title from TinyBuild, Sand: Raiders of Sophie, achieved impressive sales, moving over 150,000 units within the initial five days of release.
