Patron believes the next generation of the internet is a creator's movement, a builder's movement. Thinkers and doers who are at the helm of new ways to behave, learn, and connect.
We not only fund founders but the pursuit of a world where everyone has more of a stake, where there are no set rules for what can be valued or have meaning, where value is not only more distributed but captured by those who actually build and create.
Financed by some of the world's greatest investors, founders, and institutions, Patron is dedicated to writing the first-check into world-class builders across consumer, games, and web3.
