IdInvESt Et aL. BacK GRand cRU WItH EUR 8.5M
Grand cru, the relatively new Finnish gaming company, has secured $11 million from strategic investors including lead investor Idinvest Partners, as well as qualcomm ventures and nokia Growth Partners.
The company is currently working on a new game but don’t have any concrete plans for when it will be released yet.
“We will launch it when it’s ready,” chief marketing officer, Thorbjorn Warin, said. “We’ve put two years into the game. We will not fumble on the finish line and we have taken a very extensive process in developing the game.”
He added: “We’re not going to grow too quickly and go on a crazy hiring spree. We’re not going to be cranking out new products every six to nine months. We want to make sure the people we hire have a good, strong cultural fit with people who want to make games with the same level of ambition that we have.”
Lexia acted as the legal advisor to Grand Cru in the transaction and negotiations from the first term sheets to closing documents. Lexia’s team was led by Partner Markus Myhrberg, an Senior Associate Olli Kotila.
Myhrberg said: “Lexia has been the legal advisor for Grand Cru from the early days of the company and advises the company in all legal matters. Lexia’s clientele includes also other growing game companies and we are active in the startup scene.” LM
