Summary

Vision+ operates as a strategic investment firm focused on supporting game developers by providing capital while allowing creators to retain full ownership of their intellectual property. By utilizing a revenue-sharing model rather than traditional equity-based financing, the firm avoids diluting the developer's stake in their company. This approach emphasizes the long-term value of building and monetizing brands through sequels and additional content, ensuring that developers maintain control over their creative assets throughout the product lifecycle.

The firm maintains a platform-agnostic investment strategy, targeting web and mobile platforms alongside PC, Mac, and console markets. Backed by major industry players such as Nokia and Microsoft, the fund is equipped to support up to 200 distinct intellectual properties. Individual investments typically range from 50,000 to 500,000 euros, generally covering half of a project's total production budget, which averages around one million euros. Beyond direct financial backing, the firm provides essential support in marketing and traffic acquisition through an established network of industry partners.

Since the launch of its latest fund, the organization has experienced significant global interest, receiving approximately 350 investment proposals within the first two weeks. While the firm is rooted in the Finnish games industry, its scope is international, actively seeking high-potential projects from developers worldwide. By prioritizing IP retention and offering operational assistance alongside capital, the firm aims to foster sustainable growth for independent studios across the global digital gaming landscape.
