Announcing Patron Fund II

Brian Cho
We’re excited to announce Patron Fund II, a $100M seed-stage fund supporting founders building for the next generation of consumers. This new fund is shaped by our experience as early builders and investors at Andreessen Horowitz, Riot Games, and Discord, along with insights from the past three years since launching our first fund.

Our journey has made it clear that tomorrow’s most transformative companies will serve the hundreds of millions growing up on platforms like Roblox and Discord. Games have always been at the forefront of consumer tech adoption, and we’re dedicated to supporting visionary founders using this gaming lens to build venture-scale businesses across all verticals.

The name Patron reflects the kind of firm we strive to be one that offers unwavering support to founders. With our experience scaling category-defining companies, we bring unique expertise in designing products that engage people for thousands of hours, guiding founders through every step of their journey.

We exclusively lead seed rounds to stay deeply involved from the start through to scale. As patrons, we empower builders to create something lasting.

If you’re a founder who shares this vision, we’d love to connect.

Amber, Brian, & Jason
