Frequently asked

Q1

Does a gaming startup need a gaming-focused investor?

No. Most of the 1,768 are generalist funds with a handful of gaming deals; a focused thesis matters mainly at pre-seed and in capital-intensive sub-sectors. Look for the partner who led the fund's last gaming deal, not for the word in the fund's name.

Q2

How many investors do founders contact to get meetings?

Founders in our Raise Benchmarks reached 45 to 900 investors per round. Besample reached 900 investors for 55 first meetings. Gaming rounds are crowded on both sides, so targeting matters more than volume.

Q3

How do I get a warm intro to a gaming investor?

Fundraisly's Warm Intro maps your team's LinkedIn connections against every investor in this database and shows which of these funds and angels a colleague can introduce you to.
