ABOUT US
Behold Venture is a specialist operated fund. All of us on the investment team have spend our careers dedicated to the games industry, making and publishing games, starting new companies, leading and growing existing ones.
We’ve worked on AAA franchises with several hundreds devs, and we’ve helped indie games go to market. In this wide range of experiences there’s one common, red thread through all our journeys - and it’s not only our love for interactive entertainment - but our true interest in the people actually making the games!
