Investor Highlight: Fun, Games, & Deals at the Transcend Fund 🧩

With days short on sunlight and deliverables, it's a great time to unwind with a good book, a much-needed nap, or a 1,000 piece puzzle depicting an idyllic landscape or work of art. For some of us, the season of slowing down might be a few gears too low from our usual fast-paced, high-gear lifestyles. Some of us might crave a little more score-keeping and racing against a clock, as promised by certain video games or digital chess boards. Luckily for anyone bored with analog activities, there's a slew of startups creating the next-gen of entertainment. One investor who specializes in this area is the Transcend Fund.

The team of three started in 2020 with a few years of experience building gaming companies at places like Zynga and Electronic Arts. They've watched gaming go from individual to multi-player online, to social and mobile, and now to cloud and omni-platform. They raised $50MM to invest across early and mid-stage gaming companies building the next generation of gaming, companies building meaningful, approachable, and compelling games and communities.
