Liquidnitro Games, a game production and live services company, has raised $19.1 million in a Series A funding round led by Northpoint Capital, with participation from existing early investor Nexus Venture Partners.
The fresh funds raised will be used to accelerate investment across talent, its proprietary AI platform, and incentive-aligned capital. The company will also deepen its operating footprint to support more global publishers across a wider range of franchises, platforms, and markets, with a particular focus on unlocking high-growth regions such as India, MENA, and Southeast Asia.
Founded in December 2023 by Sandeep Kowdley, Krishna Dhanekula, Arun Kunchala, and Suresh Manthena, Liquidnitro aims to build games that are fun, engaging, and resonate across geographies, cultures, and player communities.
Liquidnitro provides a decisive path forward with an integrated model: incentive-aligned engagement backed by its own capital, an AI-powered Game Production & Live Services platform, and deep operating expertise.
In its first 24 months, Liquidnitro has partnered with a roster of leading global publishers, helping them build, operate, and scale some of the world’s largest games across platforms and geographies while maximizing profitability and driving substantial top-line growth.
Sandeep Kowdley, CEO of Liquidnitro, said, “By combining over a decade of experience running some of the world’s biggest franchises, deep investments in our proprietary AI-powered platform, and capital we can deploy alongside partners, we’ve built a uniquely compelling value proposition for publishers navigating an increasingly challenging market.”
Arun Kunchala, CPO of Liquidnitro, said, “Lie Services has followed the same formula for years, and we’re here to disrupt!. We’ve been obsessively building our platform to power the next generation of games – unlocking deeper, richer, and more personalized experiences that players want to come back to.”
Sameer Brij Verma, Founder and CIO at Northpoint Capital, said, “Liquidnitro is quietly becoming the go-to AI-powered production, live services, and TAM expansion partner for the world’s leading game publishers. The pace at which they’ve partnered with top global publishers in such a short period speaks volumes about their execution and trustworthiness. Their ability to combine AI-driven live ops, deep P&L ownership, and aligned capital is creating a powerful new operating model for the industry.”
Pratik Poddar, Partner at Nexus Venture Partners, said, “We have been a day-zero investor in Liquidnitro, backing them from the concept stage. Having watched this team execute since inception, it’s clear they are building a category-defining company. As the gaming industry is evolving, Liquidnitro’s operating model is exactly what global publishers need to succeed.”
