Thesis

Passion-driven, technical teams are uniquely positioned to capture emerging opportunities at the intersection of gaming, sports technology, and fintech. We partner with founders who combine technical depth with genuine passion for their domain and deep understanding of their user communities. User engagement is the critical lever across all three sectors—not vanity metrics like downloads, but active, monetizing users drive platform value.

Likely not a fit for

Non-technical founding teams, casual gaming without engaged communities, unproven teams without shipping track record, companies prioritizing user acquisition over engagement, investing outside the gaming/sports tech/fintech intersection.
