Patron

Patron is an early-stage venture capital firm, launched in 2021 by former Riot Games executives Jason Yeh and Brian Cho. Focused on gaming, consumer internet, and Web3, Patron aims to back founders pioneering the next generation of digital experiences. With its first $90M fund, Patron invested in 21 companies, including notable startups like Kudos and Raid Base, which leverage gaming technologies in creative new ways. The firm recently raised $100M for its second fund, with backing from top investors like Marc Andreessen and Garry Tan. Patron’s mission is built on the belief that gaming will become a major entry point for Web3 and other consumer technologies, from education to personal finance. Patron specializes in leading seed rounds and offers comprehensive support to its portfolio companies, including access to its deep network in gaming and tech. The team brings together over a decade of expertise from companies like Riot Games, Andreessen Horowitz, and FirstMark Capital, making Patron a go-to partner for gaming-native startups looking to scale​.
