Triple Dragon is an innovative, fast growing, specialist games and technology finance company.
Triple Dragon was founded by three entrepreneurs with a wealth of experience in finance and a lifelong passion for games. We offer a variety of flexible financing solutions that help our clients rapidly grow their install and revenue base while scaling their business to the next level.
No equity dilution
Growth Finance without having to raise more equity
Flexible
Scale up and down as and when your funding requirements change
Fast
Don’t spend months trying to raise equity, get funded fast
User Acquisition Finance
Our user acquisition loans help game and application developers as well as publishers to scale their install base and significantly increase revenue, without giving up equity, by funding their user acquisition and marketing campaigns.
If you have a game or app that has a life-time value (LTV) that exceeds the cost-per-install (CPI), then we can help to substantially increase your revenue and profitability without having to sell equity. Get in touch!

- Loan (not equity, so no dilution)
- Secured against app store, platform or ad network receivables
- Loan size increases month-by-month as long as pre-agreed monetisation metrics are being achieved
