Istanbul-based mobile game studio Pax Animi Games has received a $250,000 investment from Entertech Birinci Girişim Sermayesi Yatırım Fonu, a venture capital fund managed by Yapı Kredi Portföy Yönetimi A.Ş. in collaboration with Entertech İstanbul Teknokent.
By supporting the studio, Entertech aims to strengthen Türkiye’s position in the global gaming ecosystem and encourage the development of innovative, technology-driven projects.
“Pax Animi is a team with global competitiveness in local game technologies. This investment represents a concrete step toward our goal of supporting the development of innovative technologies within the gaming ecosystem.”
Entertech İstanbul Teknokent General Manager Dr. Muhammed Kasapoğlu
Founded in 2020, Pax Animi Games develops mobile and web-based games with a strong focus on integrating data and analytics into its production pipeline. The studio’s portfolio includes titles such as Money to Billions and Pure Farm, available on global platforms including Google Play.
Alongside its game projects, Pax Animi has created its own technology tools — Helmet SDK and Helmet Analytics — which provide real-time data tracking, behavioural insights, and performance optimisation for developers.
“As Yapı Kredi Portföy, we place great importance on the growth of technology-based ventures and the expansion of Türkiye’s innovative production capacity.
Investments in high-potential sectors such as game technologies not only create economic value but also inspire young entrepreneurs.
In this context, we are very pleased to invest in Pax Animi Games through our Yapı Kredi Portföy Management Entertech Venture Capital Investment Fund.”
Yapı Kredi Portföy General Manager Müge Peker
This latest funding follows the studio’s earlier investment in 2021, when Pax Animi secured support at a valuation of $700,000. In 2025, the company was also selected for the London Market Expansion Programme, an initiative led by Entertech İstanbul Teknokent and Yıldız Teknokent to help Turkish startups strengthen their international presence.
Pax Animi Games plans to use the new investment to scale its existing titles, expand into new markets, and further develop its proprietary technology stack to enhance user acquisition, monetisation, and live operations.
