About The Fund
1Up Ventures is a venture capital firm that specializes in investing exclusively in independent video game developers. They describe themselves as a community of the most talented, experienced, and creative independent game developers worldwide, with a clear focus on building a diverse and inclusive network within this niche. The firm's investment thesis revolves around the idea that bringing these developers together can lead to greater collective success within the gaming industry. Their approach is community-centered, leveraging the strengths and creativity of game developers to foster success. 1Up Ventures is not interested in investing in tools, platforms, publishers, or other related technologies that do not directly engage in video game development. They aim to support game developers in the early stages of their projects, with a financial range for investment between $150,000 and $300,000, focusing on amounts around $250,000 as their investment sweet spot. The firm operates primarily at the Pre-Seed, Seed, and Early Stage levels of investment. With $23,900,000 in assets under management, 1Up Ventures leverages the extensive experience of its team members, including former Microsoft Vice President Ed Fries, Indie MEGABOOTH Founder Kelly Wallick, and industry veteran Chris Wheaton. Emily Greer also brings in-depth insights into game development economics and psychology as a Venture Partner. Beyond video game developers, the firm's broader investment domains include Education, AgroTech, AI, HealthTech, Blockchain, Analytics, Logistics, Medical Devices, Healthcare, Nanotechnology, and sectors with a focus on women. However, their main and most pronounced interest remains in the realm of independent game development, highlighting a unique specialization within the venture capital landscape.
