Supercell’s latest investment is in Spanish app distribution firm Applivery, we can reveal.
The fee is undisclosed, but Supercell’s investment means the Clash of Clans maker will continue to help grow Applivery’s app distribution and management platform, which enables companies to oversee software across Apple, Android and Windows devices. Applivery is led by CEO César Trigo, a veteran enterprise software executive.
The latest deal marks the Finnish firm’s increased interest in tools and tech companies lately, following recent investments in D2C outfit Appcharge, video chat startup Bunch, player insights firm Quago and game creation platform Bitmagic.
“At Supercell Investments, we back both game studios and game tech teams that empower game developers,” Supercell head of investments Jaakko Harlas said.
“Our collaboration with Applivery is off to a great start, and it made perfect sense to strengthen our partnership with an investment. We believe in what César and the team are building and want to support them on their journey.”
Applivery CEO César Trigo said of the deal: “At Applivery, our mission is to provide companies with full control over their devices and apps in a simple and secure way. Supercell’s trust in our technology validates our vision and motivates us to keep developing even more innovative and scalable solutions.”
And Supercell developer services lead Vadim Liman added: “We were truly impressed by the Applivery team and what they’ve built. As we looked for a trusted partner in app distribution, it became clear that Applivery was the right fit. We’ve been super impressed by the team and how they operate. Now, as we deepen our partnership, we’re excited to continue working together and supporting their growth.”
