Esports Global has officially launched a $50 million investment fund, based in Guernsey, to support companies operating across the gaming and esports sectors.
The fund aims to back 10–15 businesses globally, spanning early-stage ventures to Series B companies. It is funded in part by the Alshaya family, a prominent investment group from Kuwait with holdings in sectors like retail, hospitality, and tech.
Dave Martin, CEO of Esports Global, highlighted that the fund isn’t limited to purely esports firms — it will also target education, tech, and innovative solutions that can intersect with the esports ecosystem.
Over the last ten years, we’ve seen many changes in terms of how the esports ecosystem is owned, operated and funded

The move comes at a time when esports is seeing increased capital inflows, and Esports Global hopes this fund will help stimulate a wave of innovation and expansion across teams, fan platforms, service providers, and tech infrastructure.
