Bitkraft Ventures has raised $275 million for a third fund for early-stage investments in gaming and interactive media companies.
Bitkraft Venture Fund 3 succeeds the company’s two prior early stage equity venture funds. Bitkraft Venture Fund 3 will continue to invest in studios, platforms, and technology globally within the gaming and interactive media space at the seed and Series A stages.
Once closed, this fund will bring Bitkraft Ventures’ total assets under management to over $1 billion. It is the second game VC fund in a week to be announced, in addition to the $35 million Laton Ventures.
Grounded in its vision of synthetic reality, Bitkraft believes in the transformative power of digital experiences, shaping the future of entertainment. With a core belief that humanity is increasingly immersing itself in digital realms, Bitkraft recognizes game companies as central to this development, driving the evolution of digital entertainment.

We’ve seen continued growth across all major game platforms, in metrics including user engagement, activity levels, and monetization,” said Hilgers. “Newly formed game studios have seen substantial break out successes over the last years, and the advent of AI in game production further benefits new upstarts in the space.”
