Kowloon Nights is a video gaming investment fund established in 2017. It was founded by chief executive officer Alexis Garavaryan, who is also CEO of partner publisher Kepler Interactive, and Jay Chi.

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]
