Prague, Czech Republic – Flow Studio, an independent game developer, announced today a $250,000 Seed Fund from Synot Holding a.s. Studio is known for its iOS titles Power of Logic and Sortee with 2.7M downloads. The company had two other Leap Motion apps for PC and Mac, Sortee and Midnight, prior to the July 22 release of Leap Motion. With its new funding, Flow Studio plans to increase its capacity and development speed so it can launch more Leap Motion enabled apps and find the right market within the next 12 months.

The seed funding from the games and lottery giant Synot Holding will help Flow Studio to become the leading Leap Motion developer. “We are exploring several areas where Leap Motion brings major controls improvement. From entertainment, over interactive visualizations to education. Funding gives us an opportunity to experiment, try different solutions, learn quicker and launch faster,” said Richard Horin, co-founder of Flow Studio.

“Synot Holding has been supporting young and dynamic teams from the IT industry for several years. Flow Studio’s team has quickly gained our attention with a passion, professional approach and an interesting conception,” said Miroslav Valenta Jr., Synot’s sales director for the Czech and Slovak Republics. “We also see a potential for connecting Flow Studio’s skills with our core business in the lottery and games.

“Being a part of the Synot family gives us access to several interesting start-ups including Madfinger Games, the authors of iOS smash hits such as Shadow Gun and Dead Trigger. What we want to give back to the holding is creativity, ability to come up with original solutions and modern trends which will develop the main lottery business,” explains Horin.

Flow Studio is now working on several commercial projects as well as developing a new entertainment title which will be published in November.
