it's been almost a year since we launched patron to the world; our young yet growing portfolio from fund 1 features 15 companies so far with exceptional builders at the convergence of web3, consumer, and games they are front and center in our new branding (๐Ÿ™ @kotostudio)

our definition of games goes beyond the entertainment use case; with now 3B+ global gamers, our thesis is driven by the worldview that the next internet will be even more interactive and user-owned where our virtual identities and properties rival that of our physical ones
