Bit Odd, a creative studio in Finland led by former Supercell leader Lasse Louhento, has raised $18.2 million (€17 million) in funding to make mobile games.

Griffin Gaming Partners led the round, with participation from Makers Fund, Index Ventures and others. Those are good investors and that’s a lot of money for this day and age, considering gaming has had 33,000 layoffs in the last 2.5 years. But this makes sense because Louhento was the game lead on Clash of Clans, a mighty mobile game that has generated $10 billion in revenues.
