Feb 2022Series B20VC (lead); Access Industries; The Raine Group; Lightspeed Venture Partners; Eldridge Industries$116M$1.4BTripledot Studios, a London-based mobile games developer founded in 2017 by Akin Babayigit, Eyal Chameides, and Lior Shiff, raised $116 million in a Series B funding round led by 20VC (The Twenty Minute VC) on February 14, 2022, achieving a post-money valuation of $1.4 billion. The round also included participation from Access Industries, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Eldridge, bringing total capital raised to $202 million (including the $78 million Series A from April 2021). The company became a unicorn with this valuation, marking a significant milestone for the UK gaming sector. Tripledot specializes in casual mobile games targeted at players over 30, leveraging data-driven product development and sophisticated monetization mechanics. The company's popular titles include Woodoku, Solitaire, WordHop, and PuzzleTime. As of the funding round, Tripledot had launched 10 titles and was actively scaling four of them, reaching approximately 25 million monthly active users. The company had maintained profitability since 2018, its second year of operation, and reported that revenues tripled during 2021. The $116 million Series B proceeds were allocated primarily for mergers and acquisitions rather than core business operations, reflecting management's strategy to aggregate smaller game studios under Tripledot's platform. CEO Lior Shiff emphasized the company's positioning as an active buyer, stating the platform could scale acquired games through Tripledot's expertise in user acquisition, monetization, and live operations. The company employed approximately 200 staff across offices in Barcelona, Minsk, and St. Petersburg. Tripledot's success in the casual mobile gaming market contributed to the broader recognition of the UK games industry as Europe's largest gaming sector and one of the top five globally. The company's achievement of unicorn status highlighted the growing investor confidence in profitable, well-operated gaming studios that could scale efficiently in the competitive mobile games landscape.

In February 2022, it raised $116M in a Series B round led by Access Industries, with participation from investors including Claltech, achieving a post-money valuation of $1.4B. The funds were intended to accelerate international growth, enhance game development capabilities, and scale operations, including potential acquisitions of startups to leverage its platform. Total funding raised by that point was approximately $202M across rounds. Sources consistently attribute the February 2022 Series B leadership to Access Industries and note involvement from entities like Eldridge and 20VC (The Twenty Minute VC). Later rounds included a Series B-II in 2023 and a $400M corporate minority in May 2025, with cumulative funding reaching $602M by 2025. Tripledot later saw an acquired unit by AppLovin in 2025. Competitive context includes other gaming raises like Zupee ($102M at $600M valuation) and thatgamecompany ($160M).

The round valued the company at close to $500 million post-money, just three years after launch. The investors include global firms with Lightspeed managing $10.5 billion across its platform, having backed companies like Snap and Affirm. At the time of the funding, Tripledot had achieved a revenue run-rate of over $100 million as of early 2021, demonstrating rapid scaling to strong profitability. The company had grown its active user base to 11 million, up from 6 million six months prior, and tripled its employee count to over 90 in the last 12 months. Tripledot employs a data-driven approach to develop hit mobile games enjoyed by millions daily, with offices in London and Minsk. The funding supports Tripledot's expansion in the mobile gaming sector, where it creates fun, long-lasting puzzle and logic-based titles.

Subsequent developments included a $116 million Series B in early 2022 at $1.4 billion valuation, led by 20VC with participation from the same investors, focusing on acquisitions and portfolio growth, bringing total raised to $202 million then.
Nov 2018SeedVelo Partners (lead); Julien Codorniou$8M-Tripledot Studios raised $8 million in a seed funding round on November 20, 2018, led by Velo Partners with participation from Julien Codorniou. The London- and Minsk-based mobile game developer was founded by veterans from King Digital, Facebook, and Product Madness, including CEO Lior Shiff, COO Akin Babayigit, and CPO Eyal Chameides. At the time, the company had launched titles such as Solitaire, Solitaire 95, Sudoku, and the story-based chat game Twisted, available on Facebook Instant Games, Apple App Store, and Google Play. The investment supported Tripledot's ambition to build the 'Apollo Program' of mobile games by assembling top talent to excel in science, art, and business pillars of mobile gaming success. Velo Partners managing director Evan Hoff highlighted partnering with a trusted team that had already achieved a seven-figure revenue run rate. The founders emphasized rapid execution on market trends, with their debut titles attracting millions of players worldwide.
