Cheer Games Raises $4.5M Pre-Seed Funding To Expand Mobile Gaming Studio

Founded by former senior leaders from AppLovin’s Lion Studios Emre Gercel (CEO), Berkay Ozturk (CPO), Ertan Ünver (CTO), and Kutay Koralturk (CMO) Cheer Games brings together expertise in game design, product development, growth, and business strategy.

The team previously collaborated on successful mobile titles, including the puzzle game Hexa Sort, and aims to develop engaging new experiences in the mobile gaming space.

Emre Gercel said the company was founded with the ambition to build enduring game franchises and a long-lasting studio:

We started Cheer because we believed we could build something more durable than the industry's short-term thinking allows for. To build games that become franchises and studios that become institutions. Barcelona gives us the global stage, our Turkish roots give us the hunger and this team gives me complete confidence that we'll deliver.
