Grand Games secures $3 million in latest funding round

Turkish firm Grand Games has secured $3 million in a pre-seed funding round.

According to GamesBeat, Earlybird Digital East Fund led the investment, with Laton Ventures also participating. The funds will bolster the development of upcoming games and help expand the team.

The startup has already introduced its initial game, Magic Sort, in the US on both iOS and Android platforms. The next release, Car Match, is expected this month, with the company's major title scheduled for next year.

"We recognized the fragmentation in mobile development and saw a chance to create a fundamentally different company from those currently in the market," stated Bekir Batuhan Çelebi, co-founder and CEO of Grand Games.

"By leveraging cutting-edge AI technology, we aim to build and refine games more swiftly, positioning ourselves ahead of competitors through rapid execution and innovation," he added.

Oguzhan Ozer, associate at Earlybird Digital East Fund, commented, "Our investment approach is highly selective, given our deep understanding of the market's challenges. Grand Games stood out due to the team's quality and compelling vision, and we are thrilled to back them."

Grand Games was established in January by Bekir Batuhan Çelebi, Mustafa Fırtına, and Mehmet Çalım.
