Summary

  • The funding was led by Tripledot cofounder Akin Babayigit’s new games fund Arcadia, along with investment from Menlo Ventures.
  • Good Job Games became one of the most successful hypercasual game publishers within its first two years of operation, amassing more than three billion downloads.
