BITKRAFT Ventures is a global venture capital firm founded in 2015 by esports pioneer Jens Hilgers, specializing in early-stage investing across gaming, AI, immersive media, and Web3. The firm targets Seed, Series A, and Series B rounds globally, focusing on its distinctive thesis of “Synthetic Reality,” the convergence of physical and digital worlds driven by gaming technology. Typical check sizes range from $100,000 to $28 million with an average ticket of approximately $4 million, and BITKRAFT is recognized as the most active lead investor in gaming globally. Notable portfolio companies include Discord, Roblox, Sandbox VR, and FitXR, reflecting its broad reach across social platforms, game studios, and immersive experiences. The firm manages over $1.05 billion in assets across four equity funds and two crypto funds, maintaining offices in major hubs like Berlin, San Francisco, and London. BITKRAFT distinguishes itself through deep operator DNA from professional esports and public theses on fully on-chain games, treating gaming as a primary vertical rather than a sub-sector.
