Jobs at Play Ventures

Gaming is the biggest form of entertainment and it's value is over 2x that of music and film industry combined. We invest early into the most promising game studios, consumer apps and related B2B infrastructure & services startups from across the globe. We live to help ambitious and passionate entrepreneurs create the next gaming unicorn companies. Consumer apps (like Duolingo, Calm etc) are growing very rapidly, driving billions in new consumer spend each year. Beyond game mechanics, these apps are learning from free-to-play gaming’s mastery of user acquisition, economy design, and monetization. From virtual currencies and rewards to data-driven segmentation and LTV prediction, gaming has become the operating system of interactive engagement — now also powering a new generation of “playable apps”. New frontiers in adtech, payments infrastructure, and AI are transforming how games and playable apps attract, retain, and monetize users. Hyper-personalization, continuous optimization, and frictionless transactions are driving efficiency, margin expansion, and scalable growth — empowering founders to build products with unprecedented speed and impact. Play is proud backer of Appcharge, Scenario, PVX and many more who are powering the mobile ecosystem with payments, AI, performance marketing and more.
