The Games Capital Summit is hosted by Nordic Games Ventures and is designed to create a platform where entrepreneurs can meet with potential investors and in the process learn what it takes for you to be investable.

The summit focuses on equity funding, where investors are interested in funding companies in exchange for the shares of that company.

About 100 companies from around the globe applied for an opportunity to pitch to over 20 game VCs at the Games Capital Summit 2023, but only 12 finalists made it through the rigorous selection process, Maliyo being the only Nigerian company to emerge.

The founder of Maliyo Games, Hugo Obi has expressed excitement at the opportunity he has to pitch at the summit where he will be sharing his plans, process, successes and challenges faced in the journey.

This is another great avenue to showcase what’s happening in the African Esports space to a bigger audience as Maliyo Games will be revealing African-inspired mobile games to a larger group of people with the hope that one or more investors are captivated by their idea.
