Mobile gaming studio Spill Games has raised $10.5 Mn (about ₹100 Cr) in a Series A round led by Elevation Capital, with participation from existing investors Centre Court Capital and PeerCapital.
The Bengaluru-based startup said it would use the fresh capital to scale its existing games, expand its development pipeline, strengthen the AI and technology capabilities of its Compass engine, acquire users, and selectively grow its team.
Founded in 2024 by Om Misra, Tapan Ranjan, and Harsh Garg, the gaming startup builds free-to-play casual, puzzle, and hybrid-casual mobile games for global audiences using an AI-led, portfolio-driven studio model.
Its in-house engine, Compass, brings together tools for analytics, player retention, monetisation, and live operations. The startup said this lets it reuse infrastructure across games and shorten the time taken to develop and test new concepts. It is targeting development speeds of roughly 4X those of traditional approaches.
Spill launches games quickly to test its initial assumptions, then uses player feedback and in-game data to refine them. It directs more resources towards titles that show potential to scale globally.
Its portfolio now comprises six games, including Cozy Finds, Sticker by Number, Zen Math Crossword, Bird Rescue Jam, and Grill Master. The startup monetises its games through advertising and in-app purchases.
The fresh funding comes months after the startup raised $3.1 Mn (around ₹28 Cr) in its seed funding round in April.
At the time, it said that around 50% of its user base originated from the US, followed by Brazil (15%) and Japan (10%).
