For investors

Game investment diligence, grounded in evidence.

Test your assumptions against independent market evidence, and see which risks actually matter.

Returns in games depend on more than sales: the team, the costs, the deal terms, and what happens during development. Iridae combines independent game and market intelligence with the financials, assumptions, and judgment you bring.

Use cases

Built for game investors.

Project Financing

Understand the economics of a game.

Weigh a game's commercial potential against its budget, financing needs, and deal terms. See how assumptions move returns.

Studio Investments

Examine the opportunities behind a business.

Assess a studio's games, pipeline, and market alongside the financials you provide. Surface the assumptions and risks your thesis depends on.

IP & Catalogue Acquisitions

Look beyond historical revenue.

Combine long-term sales patterns and future opportunities with your view of rights, costs, and terms.

From what you know to the risks that matter.

01
Your knowledge. Our market intelligence.

Bring what isn’t public — the team, the finances, the rights, the terms — as a deck, a model, or a range. Iridae combines that with independent market evidence, and keeps what you supplied, what the evidence supports, and what remains unknown separate.
02
An independent view of the market.

Even an unreleased project can be placed among existing titles. A decade of commercial history shows how those comparables performed, and every estimate carries its uncertainty.
03
Explore outcomes under your assumptions.

A commercial hit can still miss a return target. Costs, financing, rights, and timing shape the distribution of returns, and changing an assumption — a delay, weaker sales, different terms — changes the outcome.
04
Identify the material risks.

Not every uncertainty matters equally. A supported market can still hinge on the schedule, and a credible plan can still face uncertain demand. Iridae shows which assumptions drive the outcome.

Next steps

Know where further diligence could help.

Some open questions barely move the outcome. Others could change it entirely.

Refining the sales forecast might matter little, while development-cost uncertainty matters a great deal. Or the case may rest on an untested assumption about player demand. Knowing which tells you what to investigate next: more financials, a production review, player research, or different terms.

Iridae models the uncertainties and their consequences. You decide what to pursue.

Evidence

Keep the evidence connected to the analysis.

A diligence assessment you can examine and challenge.

Review the evidence behind an estimate, replace an assumption with new information, and compare the revised scenarios with the original. Inputs, assumptions, calculations, and qualifications stay connected, so you can see why an outcome changed, from screening through investment committee and later reviews.
