Principal at Makers Fund | Game Industry Transformation Leader | Investor
I bridge the worlds of game development and investment, drawing on my journey from building EVE Online's infrastructure at CCP to scaling League of Legends at Riot Games. My passion lies in transforming game studios by balancing creative vision with operational excellence. I've developed a unique approach to building adaptable frameworks that enable teams to maintain their creative spirit while delivering consistently at scale.
At Makers Fund, I focus on discovering and nurturing the next generation of game developers who have the vision to create extraordinary interactive experiences. I believe the most successful studios emerge when talented creators are supported by the right organizational structures and processes. My role allows me to share the lessons I've learned throughout my career, helping founders navigate the complex landscape of game development while preserving their creative autonomy.
Beyond investment, I remain deeply connected to game development culture and the ongoing evolution of team structures in our industry. I'm particularly interested in how agile methodologies can be meaningfully applied to creative endeavors without becoming bureaucratic obstacles. This balance between structure and creativity continues to drive my approach to both investing and advising, as I help teams build sustainable foundations for long-term success.
I'm always interested in connecting with fellow game industry professionals, founders, and others passionate about interactive entertainment. Feel free to reach out to me at alli@aottarsson.com.
