Hunting the next Supercell

November 21, 2018 //

A fellow games entrepreneur just shared with me this youtube video of the keynote I did this summer at Casual Connect titled: “Hunting the next Supercell”. This presentation is based on the work I have been doing with Mattias Ljungman and Stephen Thorne in the Atomico games investment team first as an Entrepreneur in Residence and then as a Venture Partner. Since my work at Atomico is done in parallel with running eRepublik Labs (that I sold to Stillfront in 2017), I try to have a candid & direct approach about why games is an interesting space for VC and what we base our investment decisions on in this space. Hope you find this useful.

Atomico Game investments past and present include: Rovio, Supercell, Bossa Studios, Teatime and OhBibi

We have launched Age of Lords on Google Play today

March 26, 2015 //

After over 1 year of loving craftsmanship and hard work by a great team, we launched Age of Lords today. Age of Lords is a Medieval strategy MMO designed for mobiles. The team used a lot of the things we learned with our first game eRepublik.com, one of the first hit MMO strategy games back in 2007 (and still going). But the team also used what we learned from failed projects and, some of the more recent successes we had on mobile as we pivoted eRepublik Labs from browser games only to mobile games. This game is really the result of learning and tenacity and I’m really proud of the result, of the team behind it and of what it took to get us to a point where we can release such a game. You can try the game on Google Play here and you can get the press kit info here

Check out the launch trailer here: I will update you on how things are doing in a future post, but we are off to a good start! Age of Lords has been featured by Google as one of the top 3 new games this week 🙂 o7 Alexis
