Turkish mobile game studio Grand Games has raised $30 million in a Series A investment round, just 9 months after its Pre-Seed round. The round was led by Balderton, with participation from existing investors Bek Ventures, Laton Ventures, and angel investor Mert Gür.

Founded in 2024 by Bekir Batuhan Çelebi, Mehmet Çalım, and Mustafa Fırtına, Grand Games uses a unique studio model where separate teams work independently on each game. Instead of focusing only on popular game trends, the company explores untapped niches and new ideas.

Games Co-Founder and CEO Bekir Batuhan Çelebi, the company has moved fast: "We developed two casual games in 10 months with a team of only 14 people. We completed one of Turkey's largest investment rounds in our first year.”

It will use the investment to set up studios for creating new game genres and releasing its games worldwide.
