Capital & tech support synergy with Tequity and Xanada

What were the main criteria for selecting Tequity as a strategic technology partner for Xanada’s portfolio companies?

Vladimir Malakchi: At Xanada Investments, we approach every partnership as an extension of our strategic philosophy that capital alone is not enough. While we support a broad range of iGaming projects, game developers represent the core engine of this industry, and for them our goal is to provide not just funding, but ready-to-use, scalable infrastructure from day one.

In a landscape where building one’s own RGS can take months or even more than a year — draining valuable resources — we needed a partner capable of helping our teams launch fast without compromising quality. We thoroughly vetted multiple providers with our internal tech leads and external experts. Tequity stood out not only for the maturity of their product and strong technical stack, but also for their flexibility and real-world readiness.

Their infrastructure is already trusted by studios that have delivered over 500 games, and crucially, they allow us to adapt their technology as our own — giving our portfolio game developers full control over customization. That ability to plug into a robust foundation while retaining strategic freedom was a major point. Just as much as the product, what stood out was the communication: fast, transparent, and solution-driven.

What specific advantages does this partnership provide in terms of scalability, speed to market, and product development efficiency?

Vladimir Malakchi: The biggest advantage lies in how much friction we can remove from a game developer’s early journey. Many creators enter the market with a strong vision, but without infrastructure, every step becomes a build-from-scratch effort. With Tequity, that foundational layer is already in place.

Their system is not just scalable, it’s modular and deployment-ready, with pre-integrated solutions like jackpot engines, multiplayer architecture, and readiness for regulated markets. For our teams, this means faster MVPs, faster iteration cycles, and ultimately, faster paths to monetization.

It gives confidence. Game developers can move forward knowing the technical backbone they’re building on has already been tested across dozens of high-performance titles. It minimizes trial-and-error, eliminates redundant engineering, and frees them to focus on what matters most: building a differentiated, engaging product.

What are your long-term expectations for this collaboration, and how do you envision its role in shaping the next wave of iGaming startups?

Vladimir Malakchi: We don’t view this as a one-off partnership — we see it as a strategic pillar in building an infrastructure-ready ecosystem. The next wave of iGaming studios won’t win on vision alone. They’ll win on execution, retention, adaptability, and how quickly they can respond to change.

By embedding Tequity’s technology into our support model, we’re future-proofing our portfolio. We’re giving our game development teams the tools to scale beyond MVPs — to go live across platforms, markets, and regulatory environments without rebuilding their core logic each time.

We’ve already tested this approach with select partners, game providers using a subscription-based model. The collaboration delivered results quickly: live games, strong business alignment, and streamlined development cycles. That’s the model we’re aiming to replicate, where speed and scale are built-in from day one.

For those less familiar with Tequity, how would you define your company’s positioning in the iGaming technology landscape? What differentiates your infrastructure from others in the market?

Krzysztof Opalka: Tequity positions itself at the intersection of deep technical reliability and agile product enablement. We’re a full-stack partner capable of supporting everything from idea validation to game deployment and lifecycle optimization. Our infrastructure is already trusted by over 15 studios who’ve developed 500+ titles on it, and our integration reaches more than 60 APIs across the ecosystem.

What truly sets us apart is the modularity and readiness of our systems. Whether it’s multiplayer engine logic, real-time promotional tools, or jackpot frameworks — we don’t require game developers to reinvent the wheel. Instead, we give them a composable toolkit that’s proven, scalable, and compliant from day one. It’s cloud-native, regulation-ready, and designed for rapid iteration — meaning our partners don’t waste time or capital solving problems we’ve already solved a hundred times before. In a space where speed and resilience are everything, that’s a differentiator with real impact.

What strategic value does the partnership with Xanada Investments bring to Tequity, and how do you see it evolving over time?

Krzysztof Opalka: From our perspective, this partnership goes far beyond a typical service-provider relationship. Xanada Investments curates and enables a new generation of game developers with bold ideas and a clear understanding of industry challenges. Working alongside such a fund means that we’re not stepping into isolated projects — we’re helping shape a cohesive, forward-looking portfolio with aligned standards and shared ambitions.

Strategically, it allows us to engage with developers at the right moment: early enough to build a stable technical foundation, but with the resources in place to move at pace. This reduces friction on both sides. Over time, we see this evolving into a more integrated ecosystem,where product logic, infrastructure, capital, and growth models are no longer siloed but work in tandem. For us, it’s an opportunity to contribute to a higher-quality iGaming market, where technological excellence is embedded in the DNA of every new venture.

From your perspective, what factors will be critical in making this collaboration with Xanada Investments-backed startups successful, both technically and commercially?

Krzysztof Opalka: Success in this collaboration depends on two things: aligned timing and clarity of focus.

Technically, we need to enter at the architecture stage — not post-MVP  to ensure that scalability, modularity, and compliance are built in from the beginning. That’s already part of the plan with Xanada-backed teams, and it makes all the difference. It avoids costly reengineering later and shortens the path to market-fit.

Commercially, the key is coherence. Many early-stage projects fail not because the tech is weak, but because product, infrastructure, and go-to-market strategies aren’t speaking the same language. In our collaboration with Xanada Investments, we make sure everyone is in sync. We’re part of the feedback loop, helping move faster, build smarter, and scale more sustainably.

Ultimately, it’s about turning good ideas into durable businesses and that only happens when capital, product, and technology are working as one system.
