Former Rovio Execs Raise $2.35M For Seriously, A New Casual Gaming Studio

Seriously, a new gaming startup from the execs who oversaw Angry Birds-maker Rovio’s game slate and licensing business, just picked up $2.35 million in seed funding. Leading the round are Los Angeles’ Upfront Ventures (the firm formerly known GRP) and Denmark’s Sunstone Capital.

The round befits the company’s cross-continental nature. One co-founder, Petri Järvilehto, is based in Helsinki and heads game development. He was Rovio’s executive vice president of games and has about two decades of history in the gaming industry, taking the lead on iconic franchises like Remedy’s Max Payne.
