About the Fund

AppQuantum VC is a strategic investment fund launched by the global mobile game publisher AppQuantum.

 

We back early-stage mobile game studios that focus on strong product vision, iteration, and long-term thinking. 
Our partnerships are built around empowering dev teams to double down on gameplay, while we support everything else — analytics, monetization, UA, and much more.

Who We Back

We partner with studios that:

Are building from MVP to scale-ready stage
Have validated product-market fit (profitable CPI 
or soft launch)
Are raising up to $2M in funding
Understand that growth comes from iteration, not 
a one-shot launch

Partnership,
Not Just Capital

AppQuantum VC is more than a check.

We bring comprehensive expertise across publishing, user acquisition, monetization, and design to turn a player-loved game into a top-grossing, profitable business.

We plug in where it
matters:

User acquisition, ASO, creatives, and monetization
Millions in monthly spend across major networks
Advanced analytics
Real insights, genre-specific KPI focus
Game design support
Scalable gameplay frameworks and economy tuning
Founder support
We’ve helped studios grow through every stage
Studio-first model
You stay in control, we back your direction

What You Need to Start

To kick things off, we need:

A committed team with production experience
A playable MVP or game build
A pitch deck with P&L and unit economics
A vision from the team with clear goals and constraints

How we work

We don't do batch investing.

We start by aligning on the current state, then co-build the strategy — creative testing, analytics, growth roadmap.

 

From there, we go as deep as needed: full support or light-touch.

Every studio is a unique story
