What Graffiti Games does

Graffiti Games is an independent video game publisher founded in 2018 and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada. The company self-describes as being "comprised of industry veterans" and operates with a small team of 1-10 employees, positioning it as a boutique, experience-led indie publisher rather than a high-volume operation. Its leadership bench includes co-founder Mihalis Belantis, CEO Alex Josef, and Marketing Director Alex Lepp.

The company's core function is publishing independent video games, though the available data does not disclose specific titles, revenue mechanics, distribution agreements, pricing, or platform mix. Its only documented capital event is a single funding round closed on March 30, 2021, raising $1,500,000 from undisclosed investors. No subsequent funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, or product launches are recorded in the input data.

Available primary sources are thin. The firm's own website (graffitigames.com) was inaccessible during data collection, displaying only a verification/loading page, which limits visibility into product portfolio, commercial structure, operational status, and customer or developer-partner relationships. As a result, customer segments, distribution channels, pricing models, and go-to-market mechanics are not documented in the available materials, and basic firmographic fields such as company type, legal name, and operating status could not be independently confirmed from primary sources.
