Dirtybit is an award winning games studio located in the city of Bergen, on the west coast of Norway Our mission is to let people create memorable moments together! Dirtybit was founded in 2011 by students at NTNU - the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, who joined forces to make mobile games. The founders wanted to recreate the feelings and the memorable moments they got from competing with each other while playing Mario Kart together when they were kids, and bring this to new generations on mobile. Most multiplayer games for mobile in the market at the time was turn based, so they started developing the game “Fun Run”, where people could have fun and play together in real time. After winning the “Norwegian Game Awards”, the game was launched globally. After a very successful social media campaign, where players were encouraged to tweet about #funrun on Twitter, #funrun trended worldwide. It started spreading at schools in the US, and after reaching the #1 position in the US app store, players all over the world started playing Fun Run. Today our games in the Fun Run series have more than 140 million downloads all over the world.

The Nordic Web Ventures is a Solo GP first-cheque Nordic fund for possible futures. We back founders when the market doesn’t believe them yet, when they’re building into “zero billion-dollar markets” today that could become trillion dollar markets tomorrow if their view of the future comes to be. Our sweet spot is writing the first cheque into founders like these, before consensus forms and while assessing the quality of founders and sizing “what if this goes right?” still matters more than proof. More than half of the founders The Nordic Web Ventures previously backed are now LPs, joined by some of Europe’s most respected investors, operators, and institutions, including founders from Wolt, Kahoot!, Pleo, and Sanity; operators from Meta, Google, and Miro; and institutional backers such as Futuristic.vc, Tiny.vc, Christoph Janz, Pacenotes, and Allocator One.
