The Games Fund relocates to Miami and will continue funding Eastern European game studios

Ilya Eremeev and Maria Kochmola, two of the cofounders of The Games Fund, had to make some fast decisions in February when Russia invaded Ukraine. They were based in Moscow, and they decided to move out of the country.

They made it out of Russia with some difficulty and bounced from country to country. They made their way to the United States and settled in Miami, where they have set up a new base for their game-focused venture capital fund. The Games Fund is still making investments in Eastern Europe, which has thousands of game studios. But they have also pivoted to making investments in Western game companies. In fact, 70% of their deal flow now comes from the West.
