The Supercell Story

In the summer of 2010, Supercell was born and the founders had one goal in mind - making great games that people would play for years. Little did they know they would become in the ensuing few years one the fastest-growing gaming companies ever with mega-hit titles Clash of Clans, Hay Day and Boom Beach. An important part of their story is their belief in the power of extremely small and independent teams of passionate people; being small means you need less management and fewer processes, both of which just make it more fun to work. Ilkka Paananen tells us Supercell’s story in the making and how its financial success has given the startup a unique opportunity to think very long term, be very patient, take big risks and do things that most people haven’t done before.
