About Sugar
Sugar is a financing platform that offers flexible, quick and efficient financing to help game studios and app developers scale-up. The games industry is driven by metric and we specialise in providing capital through data-driven finance, at the right time
Our metrics-driven loans can help studios to scale-up quickly and take them from a few thousand users to a few hundred thousand users and beyond.
At the heart of everything we do is a deep understanding of the key metrics of games and apps, as well as what drives their performance. Our solutions can support a studio at any stage of its lifecycle and we are embedded in the games and apps ecosystem.
We are on a mission to revolutionise finance for the digital economy

Our Values
Work Smart: results count, facetime doesn’t. Balance work and life and make sure you’re productive. Don’t miss a deadline, but don’t miss your kid’s nativity play or your new sofa delivery either.
Aim high: make sure you offer your very best to your clients, colleagues and suppliers.
Be Open: communicate openly and effectively. Slack and email are fine, but we prefer to talk, work out together, grab lunch or a beer.
