History

ZeptoLab was founded in 2009 by self-taught twins Efim and Semyon Voinov, who have been making games since the age of ten.[6] “Zepto”, a math prefix meaning 10−21, was “meant to signify how truly boutique their operation was.”[7]

ZeptoLab has not received any external funding to produce their games.[8] It also owns a game studio subsidiary in the UK and started a publishing division in 2017.[9]
