History

ZeptoLab was founded in 2010 by self-taught twins Efim and Semyon Voinov, who have been making games since the age of ten.[4] “Zepto,” a math prefix meaning 10−21, was “meant to signify how truly boutique their operation was.”[5]

ZeptoLab has not received any external funding to produce their games.[6]
