BACKED BY SOME OF THE BEST BUILDERS AND INVESTORS IN THE WORLD.

Investors
Chris Dixon a16z Crypto

I'm really glad Brian and Jason are launching this fund because they get games.
Brian was my colleague at Andreessen Horowitz and sourced Oculus while at the
firm, so I know firsthand how visionary this fund will be. Any team playing in
this space will want these two on their side.


Mitch Lasky Benchmark

Jason and Brian are two of my favorite young game investors. Their experience
and judgment make them a fantastic resource for founders building
next-generation companies in this highly dynamic environment.


Garry Tan Y Combinator

Gaming may be one of the biggest underserved markets in the startup ecosystem
because there aren't investors like Jason and Brian who can see the opportunity
through the consumer internet lens, and its massive potential to shape our
future.


Ron Conway SV Angel

Gaming has turned into an important startup category that is now tough to ignore
and requires a degree of specialization and we see Patron as the natural partner
for us when it comes to supporting the founders in this space.
