New investment in autonomous game testing company ManaMind

 

Mindflair plc, the AIM-quoted company focused on investing in Artificial
Intelligence ("AI") related technology, is pleased to announce that Sure
Valley Ventures' ("SVV") second fund ("SVV2"), in which Mindflair holds an
interest, has made a new investment in ManaMind Ltd ("ManaMind"), a
London-based autonomous game testing company.

 

ManaMind has raised US$1.5 million in a pre-seed funding round led by SVV,
with participation from EWOR, Ascension, Syndicate Room and Heartfelt. The
funding will be used to expand ManaMind's technical team, accelerate
proprietary model development and support its growth across key geographies.

 

ManaMind's platform is designed to play through games, identify bugs and
generate actionable reports for development teams, helping studios reduce time
spent on repetitive manual testing. The company has also secured design
partnerships with Included Games, a mobile games studio, and Crazy Labs, a
leading hypercasual developer.

 

Nicholas Lee, Director of Mindflair plc, commented:

 

"ManaMind represents an interesting application of agentic AI in the global
games industry, where quality assurance remains a significant cost and
operational challenge for studios. By automating repetitive testing workflows,
ManaMind has the potential to help development teams improve efficiency and
game quality, and we are pleased to see SVV backing another ambitious AI
business with clear commercial use cases."

 

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the release of this
announcement. The person who arranged for the release of this information is
