Overview

LVP is a venture capital seed fund with a difference - they're operating experts in the games sector, and they only ever invest in the games ecosystem. That means they bring real experience and deep understanding. They speak the same language, share the same references, understand the same challenges - and they believe in the same vision. They know instinctively where the opportunities lie; where there are strengths to be harnessed and exposures to be covered. In fine-grain, no-hiding, straight-talking detail. They know when to bide time, when to iterate and when to go wide. And how. They invest in people. That means founders with the potential to build the best in the world; teams with terrific, creative games development skills, or fantastic ideas for revolutionary games technology or services… and a vision that sets them apart.

  • Minit Games

    Led · Seed · Mar 2026

    Minit Games is developing a mobile gaming platform that replaces traditional app-store discovery with an algorithmic, personalized feed of bite-sized titles. Players simply scroll and tap to play games that load instantly, eliminating downloads, wait times, and storefront rankings. The company positions this frictionless approach as a solution to the discoverability challenges that bury many new mobile games. For developers, Minit offers an open ecosystem: studios can publish directly to the feed using standard game engines or emerging AI coding tools while the platform’s recommendation engine matches content to the right audiences. By lowering barriers on both the player and creator sides, Minit hopes to expand engagement and surface a broader variety of games. The startup is currently gearing up for an invite-only alpha launch. It recently secured $2 million in pre-seed capital to fund product development and initial rollout.

  • Rule

    Led · Seed · Aug 2025

    Rule builds an ADHD-friendly save-to-win mobile app that turns money management into a rewarding game, combining a Tamagotchi-like squirrel with a save-to-win mechanic to help users curb impulsive spending. The product targets people who experience financial anxiety and the so-called 'ADHD tax' by making saving engaging and habit-forming. Rule completed a beta in which its community saved over £100K, demonstrating early traction. The company plans to use new funds to accelerate its public launch from beta, expand its feature set, and grow its product team. The app’s core focus is on accessibility for neurodivergent users and long-term savings behavior change.

  • Spekter Games

    Participated · Seed · Jun 2025

    Spekter Games publishes high‑quality, roguelite mobile games augmented with passive Web3 incentives designed to avoid disrupting core gameplay. Its debut title, Spekter Agency, is a rogue‑lite action game launching on Telegram’s Mini Apps, leveraging Telegram’s built‑in wallet and 1B+ monthly active users for frictionless onboarding. The studio emphasizes traditional free‑to‑play monetization (IAP) while layering passive blockchain rewards to boost retention, virality, and loyalty. The company plans to scale Spekter Agency to other chat‑based super apps and traditional mobile stores such as the App Store and Google Play. Capital from the recent raise will also fund development of a second game already underway. Spekter is led by founder Taehoon Kim (TK), an industry veteran with 20+ years’ experience and prior exits, including leading nWay to 100M+ downloads.

  • Jam & Tea Studios

    Participated · Seed · Aug 2024

    Jam & Tea Studios is developing AI-driven interactions for non-playable characters and content generation, debuting with Retail Mage, a roleplaying game about a wizard salesperson at a magical furniture store. In Retail Mage, players type free-form responses and actions while AI NPCs generate dialogue, behaviors and even in-inventory items in real time; artists still create 2D/3D assets. The studio has experimented with multiple large language models including OpenAI, Google’s Gemma, Mistral AI and Meta’s Llama and is fine-tuning models to keep NPCs in-character while applying guardrails. Creatives are heavily involved in crafting NPC motivations, backstories and example lines to shape the AI outputs. The company says it will protect and center human artists and writers as it integrates generative models. Jam & Tea is building additional ambitions beyond Retail Mage (internally called Project Emily) that will feature more environments and a longer storyline. The team of eight has raised seed funding and plans further fundraising as it readies Retail Mage for public release later this fall.
