AppQuantum launches $10M fund to support early-stage mobile game studios

Mobile game publisher AppQuantum has announced the creation of AppQuantum VC, a $10 million strategic investment fund aimed at backing early-stage mobile game developers worldwide.

The fund will focus on pre-seed and seed-stage rounds, providing initial investments ranging from $250,000 to $1.5 million, with opportunities for follow-on support as studios expand. The initiative targets developers working on original games and new genres, with a particular emphasis on the US, Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia—regions where mobile gaming continues to show strong growth potential.

AppQuantum VC will provide more than just capital. Participating studios will gain access to the publisher’s analytics tools, marketing technologies, user acquisition resources, and live operations expertise. The fund also plans to support research and development efforts in emerging genres and experimental gameplay models.

“There’s a massive gap for teams who have the talent but need real marketing firepower and operational know-how to break through the growth ceiling,” said AppQuantum founder Evgeny Maurus. “We’re not just backing games — we’re helping build sustainable gaming businesses.”

The company said it has already made its first investments, with additional announcements expected in the coming months. Developers interested in applying can submit proposals via the AppQuantum VC website.
