AffPapa, a premier iGaming affiliate directory and global events firm, has successfully closed a €1.3 million investment round via VenturePapa investors to catalyze the rapid growth and geographic reach of its AffPapa Conference and Events division.
This landmark development represents a major turning point for AffPapa, serving as the inaugural external capital injection in the organization’s history. The funding highlight’s the investment community’s deep confidence in AffPapa’s mission to facilitate high-value networking opportunities for affiliates, operators, and B2B stakeholders on a global scale.
Levon Nikoghosyan, CEO of AffPapa, stated:
“This is a significant milestone for AffPapa, reached through a deliberate and strategic decision. As a self-funded project from day one, we have steadily grown the business over the past six years without any external investment. We have successfully built the largest affiliate directory alongside affiliate management services and industry media coverage, eventually entering the events and conferences space – all while maintaining strong and consistent YOY growth. However, to take the next leap and accelerate the expansion of the company, we recognized the need for strategic investment. This investment will be directed toward our conferences and events division, enabling us to scale the magnitude of our events in 2027, enter new markets, and build dedicated sales, operations, and marketing teams. It will also allow us to secure premium venues and deliver a top-tier experience for our delegates. I’m very grateful for the trust of our investors in our project and super excited for what lies ahead.”
In 2025, the AffPapa Conference successfully penetrated the LATAM region, delivering the first-ever international iGaming Conference in Cancun, Mexico. Moving forward, the firm is prepared to solidify its international footprint with two marquee conferences scheduled for 2026, one in Madrid and a return to Cancun, further cementing its role in bridging the gap between established and emerging markets.
