ABOUT US
Spawn Ventures was founded in 2019 to identify gaming and esports entrepreneurs, invest early and join them on a value creating journey. Our investors are family offices, corporates and private investors.
Spawn Ventures is a small and lean venture capital fund and we work with recognised industry leaders and advisors to make sure we deploy capital where it makes the most sense and in the right way. We are open and use a language and documentation everyone can understand.
We are driven by our passion for gaming, entrepreneurship and business success. We feed on interactions with entrepreneurs, both current and prospective portfolio companies so do not hesitate to get in touch and remember that it's never too soon.
We are based in Sydney but travel frequently to other states, New Zealand and overseas.
