5 Things to Know About Real Money Gaming (RMG) 1) It’s growing so much faster than mobile gaming as a whole. Just 2 years it was <10% of the total market. Now it’s pushing 15% 📈 2) It’s a very broad demographic. 55% of players are women and a third are over 45 👩🏽‍🦱

🚨 20 days left! 🚨 update! There's another ~$20M still left for grabs as we put $750k into a bunch of new startups over the next 20 days. So far we’ve have invested $10M in about a dozen startups focused on the intersection of TECH x GAMES. how to apply: https://t.co/lExlSgiixi Important dates and program details: Deadline: May 19, 2024 Notified of Selection: End of June at the latest! Program Dates: July 29 - Oct 20 in Los Angeles ☀️ Our intensive 12-week program is highly selective, with ~1% of applicants accepted in our last cohort. Participants are supported not just with capital, but also by a highly curated set of industry coaches, mentors, and a community of ambitious founders. 80% of companies from SPEEDRUN’s first cohort secured funding from investors following Demo Day. for example, in the most recent program, we had an amazing set of speakers: - Mark Pincus, cofounder of Zynga - Emily Greer, cofounder of Kongregate - Eros Resmini, cofounder of Discord - Kevin Lin, cofounder of Twitch - ... and dozens more What kinds of startups are we looking for? tbh -- we are very open-minded! Great teams with ideas, before a product is built, is totally fine. But we also have startups with real revenue, a great product out there already, etc. We are investing at the intersection of TECH x GAMES which means AI/infra, 3D tools, VR/AR, web3 games, gamified consumer apps, and much more. For AI and B2B startups, there's a huge advantage in being able to meet startups in your space as potential customers, and when you are working out product/market fit. You will receive support from the entire A16Z GAMES team in your company-building efforts across marketing, recruiting, HR, partnerships, publishing, and creators. You will also have a dedicated cohort lead from the investment team. We encourage all SPEEDRUNNERs to temporarily move to Los Angeles to build community and require one day in person per week for founders to hear from luminary speakers and engage with other members of SR003. We want you to prioritize building your company, so SPEEDRUN is designed to only require one day a week in person for lectures, speakers, and office hours.

A16Z is at GDC and we had an awesome kickoff Here the behind the scenes First, we started with prepping a BIG project - the Demo Day for our @Speedrun accelerator that lives at the intersection of Tech and Gaming. We held it at the Exploratorium which was an amazing venue Folks got there early, trying out the stage, going through their pitch before the 400+ investors we invited showed up
