Updated Sep 2026

FundedIQ holds 25 funded Gaming startups in Canada and keeps their funding rounds, amounts, investors, industries, locations and company details up to date. This page provides an overview of the Gaming startup funding landscape in Canada, along with the 25 most recently funded Gaming startups in Canada.

The median disclosed round is $1.4M, with the middle half of rounds falling between $1.3M and $16M. Toronto and Vancouver hold the deepest concentrations of these companies. Gaming startups in Canada closed 8 funding rounds over the last 24 months, 6 of them in the last 12 months, and raised $137M in disclosed capital.

Toronto and Vancouver anchor a segment where mid-sized teams dominate. Institutional backing from firms like Andreessen Horowitz and Tencent indicates a preference for scalable infrastructure over indie projects. This capital profile favors established operational maturity. Approaching these firms means engaging with entities backed by global strategic interests rather than local angel networks.

About the FundedIQ Gaming startup funding data in Canada

FundedIQ tracks announced startup funding rounds and organises them by company, funding date, stage, amount, industry, location and investor. The dataset is refreshed weekly, and new rounds are normalised and de-duplicated before they are published, so the same round reported twice on different dates is recorded once.

Figures on this page cover the 25 funded Gaming startups in Canada currently tracked. Round counts, capital totals and the median round are computed over a trailing 24 months. Rounds whose amount was not disclosed (1 of 8 in that period) are counted as rounds but excluded from capital totals and from the median. The most recent round on record for funded Gaming startups in Canada is dated Jun 2026.

The table above shows the 25 most recently funded companies. Full funding histories, investor lists and founder contacts across the whole dataset open on a FundedIQ plan.
