Investment Thesis

Sisu positions itself as a founder-first, domain-specialist VC: veteran game developers who invest very early and provide hands-on operational support. The team emphasizes partnering with founders at or before product stage (“preferably first money in. Pre-revenue and most often pre-product”) and leverages decades of studio-building experience, a large industry network and active involvement (including co-founding / incubating teams) to help studios scale.
