Joyme Capital was founded in 2015 with a focus on the global gaming ecosystem.
Over the years, we invested in and worked alongside founders, studios, esports platforms and technology companies across international markets.
Today, our focus is portfolio stewardship, board-level involvement and strategic work with companies and founders where our experience can create practical value.
We work selectively and prefer durable relationships, clear judgment and long-term value to short-term visibility.
