Gaming infrastructure startup VaultN has raised €3 million ($3.5 million) in a funding round led by the Sony Innovation Fund (SIF) and London Venture Partners (LVP) to accelerate its mission of connecting and streamlining global game publishing and distribution.
Founded by industry veterans Julian Migura and Emrah Kara, VaultN provides a unified, platform-agnostic system that simplifies how publishers, distributors, and retailers manage, distribute, and protect digital products. Its technology eliminates grey-market losses, improves transparency, and offers real-time commercial insights — empowering publishers to maintain full control over their digital assets.
“VaultN has quickly proven itself a trusted partner to game publishers,” said Antonio Avitabile, Managing Director of Sony Ventures – EMEA. “We see vast potential in their approach to solving distribution fragmentation and discoverability. We’re excited to join VaultN on this journey as they shape the future of publishing.”
Building the trust layer for the gaming industry
The platform acts as a “trust layer” between publishers, retailers, and platforms, helping the industry overcome long-standing inefficiencies in digital distribution. By connecting stakeholders through a secure, data-driven infrastructure, the company enables better collaboration and more intelligent, transparent workflows across the value chain.
“We see VaultN as a true catalyst for the future of publishing,” said Are Mack Growen, General Partner at London Venture Partners. “By transforming an archaic and fragmented ecosystem with transparency and scale, they’re unlocking growth, discoverability, and stronger partnerships across the industry.”

“We’re building the trust infrastructure of the games industry,” said Emrah Kara, CEO and co-founder of VaultN. “Our platform helps partners collaborate, distribute, and grow together. This investment validates that vision and gives us the fuel to deliver it — paving the way for a new era of publishing built on trust, transparency, and intelligent data.”
