Wisconsin-based Midwest Games has secured $2 million in investment. 

The publisher has brought in funding from Prevail Private Capital, which is making its debut in the games industry. Midwest Games was founded in 2023 by Netflix alum Ben Kvalo (pictured). This investment follows a $3 million funding round it the company secured shortly after it was established. 

“Prevail’s support is rocket fuel for our mission,” Kvalo said. 

“We’re scaling to give more partners the strategy, marketing, and production expertise they need to get their games to market and succeed.”

Prevail CEO Kerry Lawing added: “Midwest Games is exactly the type of values-driven innovator we want to back. The gaming industry evolves at breakneck speed, and Midwest Games’ model is built to adapt and thrive. We’re proud to support their vision.”

Midwest has brought in veterans from PlayStation and Xbox, as well as the former chief strategy officer from VentureBeat.
