Hamburg, Germany, March 2, 2026
Minit Games, a pioneer in feed-based gaming discovery, today announced its exit from stealth and a $2M Pre-Seed funding round. The investment is led by LVP and Sony Innovation Fund, with participation from prominent industry angels including Stefan Klemm, Timo Soininen, and Klaas Kersting.
Gaming at the Speed of a Feed
Minit Games is building the infrastructure for “instant play.” While digital distribution has historically relied on static storefronts and long downloads, Minit Games introduces a personalized, algorithmically driven feed of bite-sized HTML5 games that load instantly, erasing the boundaries between exploration and play.
“Players live in algorithmic feeds, but games are still trapped in stores,” says Ole Schaper, Co-Founder of Minit Games. “We’re building a destination where short-form games are as easy to discover and engage with as any other modern media format. We aren’t just showing clips, we are delivering the full, interactive experience immediately.”
A Unified Ecosystem for Creators
Minit Games serves as an open layer for the next generation of game developers. Whether built via emerging AI tools or established HTML5-compatible engines, creators can publish directly to the feed in real time.
Powering this ecosystem is an AI-driven discovery engine. By analyzing real-time user signals and engagement patterns, Minit Games’ recommendation algorithm ensures that creator content is precision-matched with the right audience, maximizing reach for developers and relevance for players.
Strategic Roadmap
The $2M round will support the expansion of the Hamburg-based team and accelerate the platform’s technical rollout. Minit Games is currently preparing for its invite-only early Alpha launch.
“At LVP, we look for teams that are not just building games, but are fundamentally evolving the way people interact with them. Minit Games is solving the discoverability crisis by meeting players exactly where they spend their time: in the feed. By removing the friction between discovery and play, Minit Games is opening up a massive new frontier for both creators and players alike.”
Are Mack Growen, General Partner at LVP
“The shift toward feed-native, instant-access content is a global trend that has finally reached its turning point in gaming. Minit Games’ approach through their AI-driven discovery engine offers a persuasive solution for an audience that demands immediacy. We are excited to support Minit Games as they build the infrastructure for the next generation of short-form interactive entertainment.”
