1.68m Euro seed investment for Industrial Technology and Witchcraft, a Berlin based games development company

March 30, 2022

Berlin, 30th March 2022 – Industrial Technology and Witchcraft received, in March 2022, a seed investment of 1.68m Euro in cash from investors like High-Tech Gründerfonds, a German based high-tech venture capital investor, London based DN Capital and BLN Capital, the founders of Kolibri Games.

Industrial Technology and Witchcraft is going to use the funds to develop new games with incredible mesmerizing graphics, made out of Voxels and Pixels and with epic soundtracks.

The HTGF team was the first to be convinced to invest in Mister Spex and eWings.com. Now I am happy that we will be working together for the third time.
