Makers Fund

Makers Fund is a global interactive entertainment venture capital firm focused on early stage investments

[Pim de Witte @PimDeWitte]

Today we're announcing our $320M Series A at a $2.3B valuation, led by @khoslaventures , with @generalcatalyst, @JeffBezos , @ericschmidt, @NicoRosberg, alongside leading researchers from frontier labs and academia.

[Chance @onemoarchance]

We raised $3.2M to build the third place for TCG collectors.

Co-led by @makersfundvc and @hashed_official, with @Arbitrum Gaming Ventures, @GAM3GIRLVC, and Digital Elm.

---

The TCG market is massive and still growing. But the biggest gap isn't authenticity or liquidity, it's what happens after the purchase. Collectors don't need another marketplace. They need a place where collecting turns into connecting.

That's what Chance is building. When collectors build for collectors, the details matter. That's our moat.

$3.2M = 3.2 million reasons to curate more grails, create more products, and cultivate more experiences for our users.

To our investors: thank you for taking a chance on us.
To our community: thank you for building this with us.
To everyone who's ever ripped a pack, chased a grail, or stayed up too late sorting through bulk and shit, this one is for you.

Built by TCG natives. For TCG natives.

1/ Most of you know me from my 7+ years in crypto.

What most of you don't know: my obsession with TCG started long before any of that. Over the past decade I've been to more card shows than crypto conferences.

Which is why this one means a lot.

[Monster @monsterdex_io]

Most exchanges are built for the current market.

We’re building for the market that’s coming next.

Monster’s long-term direction has been clear to us from the beginning:

onchain finance will evolve far beyond today’s token trading.

What matters next is the infrastructure for volatility, intelligence, and entirely new asset classes.

That’s why, in the short term, we’re continuing to push Monster Perp forward —
stronger product, better trading rails, and a more native foundation for onchain derivatives.

But Perp is only one part of the picture.

We believe the next wave of crypto will bring new kinds of onchain assets:

prediction markets around events and narratives,

entertainment-native markets,

IP monetization,

stock tokenization,

and broader forms of financial expression that merge culture, attention, and liquidity.

AI will play a central role in that world.

Not just as a chatbot on top of trading,
but as a real market layer:
helping users and agents understand markets,
identify opportunities,
manage risk,
and interact with increasingly complex onchain systems.

Our job is not just to build products.
It is to help shape the operating system for a more intelligent and more expressive onchain economy.

Grateful for the support and ongoing dialogue from long-term partners and early backers like @makersfundvc

Some of our conviction around new asset directions has grown stronger through those conversations.

A lot more to build.

Congrats, @alexandrabotez and @momgamedev!

I can't wait to play Chess Arena with everyone in the upcoming playtest!

It's a uniquely fresh and familiar game for anyone who loves chess, strategy, battle royale, or any quick competitive games with friends.

[Alexandra Botez @alexandrabotez]

I turned chess into a video game:

40 players. Giant chessboard. ONE winner. Also, I added bombs💣

Playtest starts Oct 25th!

[Andrew N. Green @farming_xp]

I am so pumped to announce that @Storygrounds will officially enter Open Beta on July 9th! 🎉

We now have over 30 Creators coming to the platform now with a reach of over 400M fans, and some incredible people.

It’s been an insane journey building this. I love my team so much, they are the best and make me so proud to be building something so unique and ambitious together.

On that note... our first flagship comic, "What Lies Below the Lilies," is in partnership with the incredible @Jeffbakalar (I've been friends with him since we were 17 so you know im cool).

This story is mysterious, gripping, and just the beginning of what we’re building here at Storygrounds. Our Open Beta is meant to test all of our stystem, and even though we've been working on this for almost 2 years, and as everyone knows in live ops, this will really be Day

I'm so pumped to launch all of these amazing comics with such incredible creators and creative talent. July 9th, mark your calendars!

Huge congrats to @rev1x0 and the Voya team on their $5M raise!

Voya builds on the Kolibri legacy to make idle games deeper, more social, and more fun with crypto-powered markets. I’ve played a ton during testnet, it’s a blast and deserves a spot in your casual rotation
