AppQuantum, a publisher known for supporting free-to-play hits, has launched a new $10 million fund aimed at helping early-stage mobile game studios across the world.
The new initiative, called AppQuantum VC, will focus on pre-seed and seed funding, giving small but talented teams the push they need to scale. The fund will provide initial checks starting from $250,000 and going up to $1.5 million, with follow-on support as studios grow.
AppQuantum says this program isn’t only about financing, but also about giving teams access to marketing expertise, user acquisition resources, and operational knowledge to turn creative projects into long-term businesses.
While the fund will have a global outlook, key attention will be on regions with strong growth in mobile audiences, such as the US, Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
According to AppQuantum founder Evgeny Maurus, the goal is to fill the gap for teams that have talent but lack the marketing power and live-ops experience to break through.
“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. We’re not just backing games. We’re helping build sustainable gaming businesses,” said Maurus.
Alongside financial support, AppQuantum VC will connect studios to advanced analytics, monetization strategies, and research into new genres. The company has already started making its first investments, with more announcements promised soon.
Interested developers can apply through the official AppQuantum VC website and applicants are advised go through the application guide before applying.
