Koukoi Games Raises $1M from IPR.VC and TEKES to Develop Licensed IP Mobile Games

Oulu, Finland: Koukoi Games from Oulu, Finland has formed a new investment partnership with media focused VC fund IPR.VC and TEKES: the Finnish Funding Agency for Innovation. Koukoi’s ongoing path to Intellectual Property based game development has led to the parties reaching an agreement about Koukoi making a strong entry to the IP game market through licensing a remarkable IP and developing and publishing a mobile game based on the IP.

Contributions by the media focused VC fund IPR.VC and the Finnish innovation funding agency TEKES bring the total sum to over 1 million dollars.

“Through this funding Koukoi’s chances to create the next mobile game success story are further improved. This move also makes it possible for Koukoi to begin producing high quality mobile games in the IP market alongside our own original productions. We are now able to work and collaborate with for example world famous movie studios and brands which in turn greatly raises the potential for major success.” says Koukoi Games CEO Antti Kananen.
