How we fund.
We believe in creators retaining ownership of their companies and IP. Our investments are structured around shared earnings so that we recoup only after your team is paid.
About us.
Weird Ghosts was born from a collective desire to empower structurally excluded game devs. Our ultimate goal is a funding landscape in Canada that supports worker-owned studios.

Land acknowledgement.
Although we refer to ourselves as a Canada-wide fund, we acknowledge that what we now call Canada is built on unceded Indigenous territory. Weird Ghosts operates out of Winnipeg on Treaty 1 territory.
We know that acknowledging the land is only one part of addressing settler colonialism in Canada. We hope to take further measures to deconstruct colonialism in both our fund and the games industry as we continue to grow.
