Venture capital
for Games x AI.

Built by game industry veterans, backing the teams creating what players love next.

■  WHO WE ARE

Roll deep.

From Commodore to the cloud, Transcend is a venture firm built by game industry veterans. Founded in 2020, our team brings 70+ years of operator experience and $10B+ in lifetime revenue across some of the largest franchises in the industry.

Deal deep.

We have led industry-shaping acquisitions and know how the giants buy. Today the biggest shift in the economics of games is AI, and we back the AI-native founders leading it, from pre-seed through Series A, wherever they are building.

■  WHO WE WORK WITH

Builders.

AI-native studios and the tools reshaping how games are made. We partner with teams that treat AI as architecture rather than a shortcut, and we go deep on product strategy, market validation, and the path to an exceptional outcome.

Storytellers.

Fandoms are not built in a day and neither are the teams that create them. We help founders develop the creative and commercial narratives that attract talent, audience, capital, and opportunity.
