Vircon Legal advised Hungri Games on its Series A round led by Boğaziçi Ventures.
Hungri Games is a Turkish mobile gaming studio with a portfolio of original titles addressing global casual and mid-core audiences, supported by a data-driven user-acquisition and live-ops engine. The studio operates against a global player base from day one, treating game design, monetization and creative testing as a single integrated discipline rather than separate functions — the operating model that distinguishes the top tier of Turkish studios from the long tail of single-title independents.
Turkey has become one of the most strategically important mobile gaming hubs in the world over the past five years, on the back of a deep talent pool, internationally competitive cost structure and a string of category-defining exits that have re-rated the entire ecosystem. The Series A stage for a Turkish gaming studio is now typically about converting a proven hit-rate and live-ops capability into a multi-title portfolio with a publishing-grade user-acquisition engine. That requires both growth capital and investors who can pattern-match against global studio scaling, which is precisely the strategic gap domestic institutional VC has stepped in to fill.
Boğaziçi Ventures is one of Turkey’s leading venture capital firms, investing across early- and growth-stage technology companies with a strong gaming, fintech and SaaS portfolio. The firm’s track record across the Turkish gaming category gives Hungri Games access to peer-studio benchmarks and operational diligence at the scaling stage, alongside the institutional capital required to extend the studio’s portfolio strategy.
