Tim Bender, CEO of publisher Hooded Horse, perhaps best known for Steam-dominating hit Manor Lords but most recently for Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, is now also managing director of a new indie fund dishing out a total of $100 million to "promising indie games."
This "Special Opportunities Fund" comes from Griffin Gaming Partners, self-described in a press release as "one of the world's leading venture funds focused exclusively on gaming." The $100 million indie fund represents a significant chunk of the company's $1.5 billion assets.
