Nexon, Wargaming, and Zynga's Don Mattrick team up with London Venture Partners for new gaming fund

London Venture Partners has made billions from backing European game companies. Now, it is starting a new fund with some friends to make even more.

Earlier today, the company announced that it is starting a seed fund with third-party investors that will focus on game companies in Europe. London Venture Partners is teaming up with MapleStory publisher Nexon, World of Tanks developer Wargaming, and Zynga chief executive officer Don Mattrick to help provide early funding for gaming startups in the European region. LVP previously invested in breakout developers like Supercell, NaturalMotion, Playfish, and Applifier. Those game companies helped LVP generate around $4 billion in value over the last five years.
