Sectors

Media, Gaming & Entertainment.

Interactive media is the deepest concentration in the firm's portfolio and the anchor of its Asia Pacific coverage, run under a dedicated regional gaming lead from Singapore. Gaming is treated as what it is — the world's largest consumer technology category — not a niche.

From virtual real estate through exhibition platforms to interactive audiences, the firm has founded, financed, and exited companies across this sector's full cycle.
