Description

Joint Journey is an active investment firm based in Limassol, Cyprus, dedicated to backing founders with compelling product visions across diverse industries. The firm prides itself on its versatile investment strategy, engaging with companies at various stages, from nascent early-stage startups to more established, mature businesses. Their core investment philosophy revolves around identifying and nurturing disruptive technologies and innovative business models, aiming to drive substantial growth within their portfolio.

Joint Journey demonstrates a pronounced focus on the Web3, gaming, and metaverse sectors, a preference clearly reflected in their portfolio. They have made notable investments in leading companies within these spaces, including Animoca Brands, Yuga Labs, The Sandbox, Mythical Games, and Ready Player Me. Beyond these rapidly evolving digital frontiers, the firm also diversifies its interests into other cutting-edge technological areas, such as AI-powered solutions like Looty.io, digital identity verification platforms like Nect.io, and even advanced space technology through their investment in Axiom Space. This broad sectoral engagement underscores their commitment to fostering innovation across a wide technological spectrum.

While Joint Journey does not publicly disclose specific check sizes, their investment activity provides insight into their flexible financial approach, which is tailored to the stage and requirements of their portfolio companies. They are frequently listed as participants in significant funding rounds, rather than typically leading them. For example, they participated in Axiom Space's Series C round, which successfully raised $350 million, and Mythical Games' Series C round, which secured $150 million. Based on their involvement in both early-stage ventures and substantial later-stage rounds, a typical first check from Joint Journey is estimated to range from approximately $250,000 for early-stage or smaller syndicated deals, up to $5,000,000 for their participation in more mature company funding rounds.
