There are plenty of development funds at the moment.
Japanese social mobile gaming platform GREE has been involved in some already, but hidden away in its most recent financial statement is the news that the cash-rich outfit is going one better and setting up its own investment outfit.
Early bird
Labelled GREE Ventures, it will be formed in November 2011 in the form of the GV-1 Investment Partnership, which will have an initial capitalisation of ¥2 billion (around $25 million).
The plan is that it will give the company access to southeast Asian start-ups that are in the internet sector - and we'd presume gaming too - as it provides them with early round funding.
