In this Finland gaming slice, one disclosed round stands far above the rest: Yahaha’s $40M (2022-11-14), while the other disclosed amounts cluster much lower, including BIT ODD’s $18M (2024-11-14) and Remedy Entertainment’s $17M (2024-09-27). The most recent window (2024-12-18 back to 2024-08-06) shows a tight concentration of funding events, with Ray Browser ($7M, 2024-12-18), BIT ODD ($18M, 2024-11-14), Remedy Entertainment ($17M, 2024-09-27), and Social First ($4M, 2024-08-06) all landing within five months.
Geographically, the pattern is Helsinki-heavy across the most recent entries (Ray Browser is Espoo; BIT ODD, Social First, Noice are Helsinki; Remedy Entertainment is Espoo), with most rounds tied to the greater Southern Finland corridor. Stage disclosures are mixed: of the 12 rows, 4 are “undisclosed” amounts and an additional 2 are “Series Unknown,” while only one company has a “Seed” tag in the older years (Yahaha is “Series A” in 2022). Dates span 2020-03-19 (Mainframe Industries, $8M) through 2024-12-18 (Ray Browser, $7M).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the outlier, and how far above the next-largest disclosed amount does it sit?
Yahaha’s disclosed $40M (2022-11-14) is the largest in the set, and it sits well above the next-largest disclosed rounds: BIT ODD’s $18M (2024-11-14) and Remedy Entertainment’s $17M (2024-09-27). Several other disclosed amounts (e.g., Social First’s $4M in 2024-08-06 and Nitro Games’ $950K in 2024-09-16) are far below those levels.
How concentrated are the most recent rounds by time, and which companies define that cluster?
A clear recency cluster appears from 2024-12-18 back to 2024-08-06, covering Ray Browser ($7M, 2024-12-18), BIT ODD ($18M, 2024-11-14), Remedy Entertainment ($17M, 2024-09-27), Social First ($4M, 2024-08-06), and Nitro Games ($950K, 2024-09-16). These entries account for multiple funding events within roughly five months.
Is Helsinki (including nearby Southern Finland cities) over-represented in this list compared with other cities?
Helsinki dominates the city labels across multiple entries, including BIT ODD ($18M, 2024-11-14), Social First ($4M, 2024-08-06), Noice ($21M, 2023-11-09), and Tribo Games (undisclosed, 2023-10-23). Espoo also repeats (Ray Browser $7M, 2024-12-18; Remedy Entertainment $17M, 2024-09-27; Surrogate.tv $900K, 2020-12-18), reinforcing a Southern Finland concentration rather than a single-location anomaly.
What stage mix dominates, and where does it shift across years?
“Seed” appears frequently among the newer dates (BIT ODD in 2024-11-14 at Seed; Social First in 2024-08-06 at Seed; Future Run in 2024-10-03 is Seed but undisclosed by amount; Tribo Games in 2023-10-23 is Seed but undisclosed). By contrast, the older disclosed-high end shifts toward “Series A”/non-tag rows, such as Yahaha’s $40M labeled “Series A” (2022-11-14) and Noice’s $21M labeled “Series A” (2023-11-09).
Are there notable disclosure gaps (undisclosed amounts or “Series Unknown”) that affect comparability?
Disclosure is incomplete in several rows: Future Run (undisclosed amount, 2024-10-03), Tribo Games (undisclosed amount, 2023-10-23), Icy North Games (undisclosed amount, 2023-06-06), and Surrogate.tv (amount disclosed at $900K but with blank Series tag) show that amounts and/or series labels vary. Separately, two entries carry “Series Unknown” even with disclosed amounts: Ray Browser ($7M, 2024-12-18) and Remedy Entertainment ($17M, 2024-09-27), which limits stage-based comparisons.
