“Software may have eaten the world, but mobile has swallowed our time whole. People now live on their phones — spending hours a day engaging with social media, apps, and, most notably, games. Mobile gaming is one of the most dynamic arenas of our time, presenting massive, untapped potential. With Fund III, we're investing in a new wave of billion-dollar games and interactive experiences, supercharged by the transformative power of AI.”

“We believe that the best founders see these periods of uncertainty as an opportunity to build the next generation of great game companies. Many of the biggest gaming companies of today were founded during times of market downturn and gloom. With Fund III, we are committed to supporting these brave founders who are creating new business, regardless of market sentiment.”

“Integrating gaming mechanics into everyday apps is just the first step. There's a ton of user engagement and value that can be unlocked by taking learnings from the entire f2p gaming playbook that has been perfected over decades, including meta design, live ops, economy design, and monetization.”
