## History

Alexis Garavaryan, formerly of Ubisoft, ID@Xbox and Tencent, and Jay Chi, a consultant working for games publishers and Makers Fund founding partner, started Kowloon Nights as they felt value in their "knowledge of and access to Asian markets" in October 2017.[1] The fund's investors are said to be "based in Asia" and "from the game industry". The name references Kowloon City and is meant to reflect "Asian roots".[1]

On 17 March 2022, Kowloon announced a "revenue milestone" of US$150m and partnership with Kepler Interactive, a games publisher Garavaryan spearheaded.[2][3]
