AffPapa, a leading affiliate directory and events company in the iGaming industry, has secured a €1.3 million investment through VenturePapa investors to accelerate the growth and expansion of its AffPapa Conference and Events division.
This milestone represents a significant achievement for AffPapa, marking the first-ever external investment in the company’s history. The funding underscores strong confidence in AffPapa’s vision to create high-impact networking experiences for affiliates, operators, and B2B providers worldwide.
Levon Nikoghosyan, CEO of AffPapa, commented:
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 expanded into the LATAM market, successfully hosting the first-ever international iGaming Conference in Mexico, Cancun. Looking ahead, the company is set to further strengthen its global presence with two major conferences planned for 2026 — one in Madrid and another in Cancun — reinforcing its commitment to connecting key players across established and emerging markets.
