Venture capital firm Makers Fund has closed a fourth investment round worth $250 million, meaning it now has $1.5 billion in total assets under management.

The fund, which specializes in backing interactive entertainment businesses, has previously supported notable game companies such as Bossa Studios, AudioMob, Redhill Games, Dream Games, and TinyBuild.

Makers' latest round, dubbed 'Fund IV,' will extend its footprint within the video game and interactive entertainment industry. In recent years the company has quietly expanded beyond games into consumer applications, entertainment, and creation platforms.

"Makers was founded on the belief that creators are the constant, even as the landscape shifts around them," said Jay Chi, general partner at Makers. "Fund IV is that belief, doubled down. Today's founders are navigating new user behaviors, new distribution models, and a wave of fresh technology—and we think it's a powerful moment to back the companies that will define the next era."
