Griffin Gaming Partners invests in TinyBuild
The VC has bought a 3.24% equity stake in the developer and publisher
Venture capital firm Griffin Gaming Partners has bought a 3.24% equity stake in developer and publisher TinyBuild.
The finance firm said that the developer and publisher has focused on building its own IP stable, while also creating "sustainable franchises with global reach".
TinyBuild's share price has risen by 5% today following the news of this investment.
TinyBuild was founded in 2011 and is best known for IP such as Hello Neighbor, Speed Runners and Party Hard.
"The indie gaming space remains one of the most compelling areas of the industry, continuing to produce some of gaming’s most enduring franchises," Griffin partner Frankie Zhu said.
"TinyBuild has assembled a differentiated portfolio of IP with significant long-term potential, and we are excited to become shareholders and participate in the company’s next chapter."
TinyBuild CEO and co-founder Alex Nichiporchik added: "We are pleased to welcome Griffin Gaming Partners as a shareholder. As a specialist investor in the games sector, Griffin brings a strong understanding of the industry, and their investment reflects confidence in tinyBuild’s strategy, own-IP focus, diversified portfolio, and long-term growth opportunities."
In 2025, TinyBuild saw considerable success with indie title The King is Watching, a roguelite kingdom builder that has sold over half a million copies since its release, in part because of a focus on China and some changes that Valve made under the hood on Steam.
Most recently, the company launched Sand: Raiders of Sophie, which has sold more than 150,000 copies in its first five days on sale.
