History

Gogogic was founded in Reykjavik, Iceland in 2006 by a handful of entrepreneurs, including CEO Jonas Antonsson, CFO Sigurdur Eggert Gunnarsson and CTO Gudmundur Bjargmundsson.

The company started out by producing software, web pages and interactive ad campaigns while working on its own game development. In 2008 Gogogic received a grant for the develpment of the Facebook-based game Vikings of Thule. In 2009 Gogogic was awarded a second grant from the Nordic Game Program for the development of a Collectible Card game.

Frumtak, an Icelandic Investment Fund became a major shareholder in Gogogic in 2010.
