Gorilla Tag will be the first— But this is an emerging feature of VR studios, low input to super high output, and single-digit teams can *today* (with growth tailwind) generate 10Ms of annual revs. Our top 3 portcos in monthly revs to $ raised ratio are VR studios (by far)

This a subtle pattern we look for @EarthlingVC — we back teams we believe lead a narrow category with the potential to grow outward (and huge) e.g. @BlockadeLabs: 3D skyboxes -> generative gaming engine @throwbackvr: VR game excelling in content creation -> 3D TikTok

With @EarthlingVC we invest at pre-seed in legendary people solving problems we care about — this is how we gauge founder "legendary-ness": - Top decile speed of execution - Resourcefulness - A “secret” or unique insight into the problem space - Commitment to the problem space
4 trends I'm banking on with @EarthlingVC in AI, AR/VR, and consumer hardware for 2024:
Cool to see a couple of @EarthlingVC portcos mentioned here :)

I plunged into full-time fund management earlier this year. 2 big reflections from year 1 (~0.5) and subsequent things I want to build for @EarthlingVC in 2024: 1) Teams can build way more with less than ever before, but distribution is king (and not easy) ->…
Many super interesting "pre-seed" (traction-wise) AI deals are closing quickly at ~$25-30M post (i.e. over-invested) VC dealmaking is expected to pick up in 2024 (i.e. even more $ into AI)— as such I expect us to double down on VR and robotics. High impact, under-invested.
Super excited to be debriefing on last week's Meta Connect with some of my favourite co-investors in the XR + AI space: @tipatat, @amaldorai, @arian_ghashghai. Join us for our investor roundtable this Wednesday at 10am PST / 6pm BST lnkd.in/ertGrCvq

I expect about half (if not more) of our Fund I to be invested in gaming-related startups This is a really good breakdown of why many of the best opportunities right now in AI & VR intersect with games:

Just signed and wired our first investment for @EarthlingVC LFG
Personal update: Since this isnt so "stealth" anymore, I recently quit @Meta and transitioned from operator-angel to full-time VC, building @EarthlingVC. Same investor, same thesis: pre-seed AI and AR/VR to power the next era of computing. Why @EarthlingVC? 1/
