Reality Games is an up and coming gaming studio developing mobile games based on live, real world Big data. We are a team of 60 people based in Krakow at the iconic building of the Railway Station located in the heart of the historic centre of the city. We have also business representatives in London. In early 2015, Reality Games launched its first game based on: Landlord Real Estate Tycoon. It received huge global success with over 12 million players. Following the success of Landlord, we intend to release Big Data Game Engine. We are expect that our Game Engine will simplify game development for external companies and make it much more cost and time effective, as there will not be a need for artificially created content.

Remarkable Ventures has been investing in startups serving and disrupting New York’s largest industries for more than a decade. We are lifecycle investors. We are operators. We take you from the earliest stage and see you through your next round, and your next, to exit and beyond. We love helping founders build products and businesses from the ground up—and working with founders who love to build. With our companies and through the hundreds of founders we’ve invested in, we’ve lived the highs and lows of building a company. We’ve seen great success. We’ve seen pivots. We’re there with founders every step of the way. We support our founders and portfolio with the help of a unique platform and a big tent. Many funds talk about support for their portfolio, but for us it’s not just our team—it’s our community that’s been supporting the New York tech community since 2011. We have built a platform of more than 1000 mentors, including 500 founders we’ve backed during the last 10 years. We look for founders seeking to create meaningful change through the businesses they create. We look for companies from anywhere in the world that seek to take full advantage of the NYC opportunity. Together we help remarkable founders take their businesses to remarkable places.
