Another important news of success came from our country’s gaming sector and another company came out with a valuation of 1 billion. As you know, Turkey’s first unicorn was Peak Games, which was acquired by Zynga last year for $1.8 billion.
Now dream games, a name from our gaming industry, has won the term ‘unicorn’, which is used for a startup valued at more than $1 billion.
Dream Games, founded by former employees of Peak Games, received a $155 million investment with a valuation of $1 billion. Index Ventures and Makers Fund were the biggest investors in the series B investment round, while Balderton Capital, IVP and Kora also invested, according to the company, which reached a valuation of $1 billion just months after it began marketing its first game, Royal Match, worldwide.
One of the company’s founders, CEO Soner Aydemir, said, “We are proud of the early success of Royal Match. We will use this investment to grow the game everywhere.”
We congratulate them on their success.
