We have closed a €4 million Series A funding round with AYMO Ventures, a venture capital firm based in Zagreb, Croatia that provides funding and strategic support to technology startups and growing businesses. 🔥❤ The capital is earmarked for accelerating Friendly Fire’s ongoing international expansion efforts, further developing the company's proprietary technology platform, and strengthening our franchisee support systems. 💪🏼 "Our success is built on our own experience and years of optimizing processes to make sure we're handing our franchise partners an excellent model in which to invest their capital. That's why we can be so confident today about what works, and why we can guarantee success to franchisees who stick to our standard. With this investment and with a partner like AYMO Ventures, we now have real wind at our backs and everything we need to deliver on our vision and become the largest gaming cafe chain in the world. " - David Kosir, CEO Friendly Fire. “Friendly Fire is focused on a market that has always been fragmented and local, and it's giving that market a genuinely connected system. Alongside the operational know-how, the technology layer is the part that's easiest to overlook from the outside, and it's precisely what turns a good gaming cafe into a network that gets stronger with every new opening. It matters just as much that this is a team that proved the model at its own locations, with its own money, before offering it to anyone else. We're looking forward to working with David and his team through this next phase of growth.” - AYMO Ventures. Our next major milestone comes September 4th, when we will open three new locations on the same day: Limassol (Cyprus), Rijeka (Croatia), and our third FF in Vienna (Austria). 🔥 The simultaneous openings represent our most geographically diverse launch to date, underscoring the scalability of our franchise model across established Western European markets, Mediterranean destinations, and regional cities throughout Croatia. 🙌🏼 Just 13 days later, on September 17, we will take our international growth story to Brussels for the European Franchise Awards, where we will be the only Croatian company represented. We are in the category for the prestigious International Brand of the Year award, recognizing franchise concepts that have achieved outstanding success in international expansion. Big greetings from the busy Friendly 🔥 Fire team!

U zadnjih godinu dana smo se povećali 5x, a sada smo na rubu faze koja mijenja sve. Ne mogu još reći što dolazi, ali mogu reći da je veliko. Jako veliko. 💥 Friendly Fire zapošljava, ljude koji ne žele samo posao, nego žele biti dio priče koja se jednom dogodi: MARKETING: Definiramo novu kategoriju na tržištu, ono što je Starbucks za kavu ili Uber za prijevoz. Globalno. Tražimo nekoga tko je spreman zasukati rukave i napraviti najbolju priču u gamingu koja je ikad izašla iz Hrvatske. Content, PR, merch, eventi, oglašavanje, puno kave i gejmanja 💪 AGENTIC AI INŽENJERI: Gradimo AI sustave koji će pokretati stotine lokacija po cijelom svijetu. Želimo biti AI-first, svi naši poslovni procesi se grade na toj tehnologiji i tražimo ljude koji žele biti pioniri primjene autonomnih agenata na ozbiljnoj skali. Pred nama su stotine potpisanih lokacija po cijelom svijetu. Volio bih reći više, ali još ne mogu (još malo!). Znam da će ovo jednog dana biti jedna od onih priča za unuke. Hrvatska je spremna za još jednog 🦄! Moj DM je svima otvoren 🤗!

We built a Friendly Fire in 7 days — and we cut costs by 20% while doing it. First turnkey location in Maribor, done. Fastest build we've ever pulled off. After building more than 20 locations we brought together everything we learned, and now we're making investing into Friendly Fire a no-brainer. Thank you Egor Koshurnikov for betting on us and for your contiued trust. This was the first of many, and it was a really good one.
