1/ ⚡Announcing what @jasonoliver and I've dreamt about building together for many years!

We are proud to debut Patron.

An early-stage venture firm investing in the convergence of games, consumer, and Web 3.

We call this the "Spectrum of Play."

2/ Spectrum of Play is our conviction that games will shape the future.

That the most significant opps in games will converge into Web 3, education, fitness, fintech, etc.

And built for gaming-natives who intuitively get @roblox @axieinfinity @discord @nbatopshot @robinhood.

3/ Our $90m debut fund is backed by a prolific roster of founders, builders, & investors.

We are thrilled to have 100+ individual LPs closely aligned with our mission and are anchored by Horsley Bridge.

Our aim is to be the best-in-class early stage partner to founders & VCs.

4/ Our take is that games will be the biggest consumer on-ramp to Web 3, and now is the perfect time to get started.

We’ve been big believers in the space and will allocate a significant amount of our capital towards Web 3 native startups and tokens.

5/ Patron is built to answer what founders want:

Investors who get the space but have actual domain experience, and make a significant impact across building, hiring, & fundraising early.

We each spent 10+ yrs @riotgames @firstmark @a16z and early is where we specialize.

6/ Patron will invest globally and lead/co-lead opportunities at the seed stage.

We are taking the high conviction & concentrated portfolio model -- meaning we aim for quality over quantity and do the support work needed for our portfolio companies to reach their next milestone.

7/ If you are a founder our DMs are open. We’ve already started backing some fantastic startups -- Let’s talk!

@jasonoliver and I will both be active on Twitter going forward, so please follow us both for future updates!
