Hutch is a fantastic company led by a very experienced and talented leadership team. We are pleased to now formally and fully welcome them to our group, and specifically to our recently formed new GamingCo. We are eager to support them in the next chapter of their growth journey, which starts now.

Hutch is a true front-runner, responsible for some of the most successful titles in the fast-growing mobile racing category and spearheaded by an exceptionally strong and highly-experienced team. We are thrilled to welcome Hutch to MTG, both as a stellar company in its own right, and as the first investment made by our new gaming holding company.

Through the creation of a new joint gaming group together with InnoGames' founders, InnoGames’ best-in-class expertise in user acquisition, live operations and business intelligence strategies can now benefit all of MTG’s gaming vertical companies, as well as future new acquisitions.

We are pleased to see this agreement which further establishes the ESL Pro Tour as the leading esports circuit format globally. This serves as yet another example of ESL’s and DreamHack’s shared ambition to build and commercially professionalize the global business of esports.

“We are excited to announce this term sheet for an important strategic partnership which provides us with a strong partner in Huya to pave the way for a successful ESL expansion into the thriving Chinese esport and gaming market in due time,”

President and CEO Jørgen Madsen Lindemann

“Bit Heroes has potential, and we look forward to see Kongregate bring the game to massive new audiences in Asia. As owners of Kongregate we’re proud to see yet another strong example of their proven and established acquisition model; prove out an innovative game concept on web or PC, scale the game through direct publishing, then reward the game creators with an investment or, in this case, an acquisition,”

“Gaming and esport is the future of entertainment, and we are excited to invest in what we believe are seven of the most promising early stage startups with excellent teams, products and ideas”

“We are already seeing attractive valuation upticks based on latest financing rounds in our investments, such as Phoenix Labs, AppOnboard and the BITKRAFT seed fund. Deal flow and value creation opportunities continue to improve now that we have established MTG as a leading games & esports VC in the West”, says

Our performance during 2015 clearly demonstrates that the transformation is working. Our products have never been stronger and we aim to grow both our sales and profits in 2016
