Griffin Gaming Partners and BIT ODD , a gaming studio based in Finland, announced a financing round from an elite list of institutional and private investors.
Leading a €17 million round with participation from Makers Fund, Index Ventures, and others, Griffin Gaming Partners is committed to empowering the company to deliver captivating experiences that resonate deeply with players worldwide.
Lasse Louhento’s led BIT ODD aims to reintroduce wonder and eccentricity into the gaming world, a quality often overshadowed by the finance-first focus of mobile gaming. Their mission is to create games that attract players through emotion and innovation rather than just conforming to traditional metrics.
Statements from BIT ODD and Griffin Gaming Partners
“We started BIT ODD because we felt something was missing in gaming today.
The mobile gaming surge has been incredible, but it has also steered many studios toward finance-first thinking—over-relying on metrics and following the competition.
Our approach is a bit different. We focus on designing games that stir the soul, embrace quirkiness, and tap into the emotional magic of gaming classics.”
Lasse Louhento, Co-Founder of BIT ODD
“Launching something truly original in gaming takes guts, authenticity, and an unshakable passion for the craft. In an era where data is often the core driver for design, BIT ODD is charting a different course— we’re excited to back Lasse and a team of next-gen talent.”
Pierre Planche, Partner at Griffin Gaming Partners.
Operating within a vibrant studio environment reminiscent of an atelier, the team is pioneering a new era in game development.
Drawing upon their extensive experience and personal journeys, the team is creating more than just a game — they are designing an immersive experience intended to inspire players in ways that traditional approaches have overlooked.
