UK’s Fasanara acquires majority stake in US-based gaming/app lender Pollen VC: Know more
Summary
London-based Fasanara, an FCA-authorised investment firm and technology platform, has acquired a majority stake in California’s Pollen VC. Following Fasanara’s majority stake acquisition, Pollen VC will function independently within the Fasanara Group, allowing it to pursue larger, structured deals while continuing its focus on helping smaller studios in a capital-efficient manner. Martin Macmillan, founder and CEO of Pollen VC, says, “This transaction with Fasanara was a logical next step in our growth, enabling us to further broaden our market access and remove capital constraints. The firm operates globally, with a focus on North America and EMEA, extending support to companies with development activities in emerging markets like Eastern Europe and India. With a decline in venture investment in the gaming/app sector, founders are shifting their focus towards capital-efficient growth.
