Jens Hilgers

Founding General Partner, BITKRAFT Ventures

About

Jens Hilgers is unusual among gaming VCs because he personally founded and scaled two major esports institutions—ESL and G2 Esports—before creating BITKRAFT, giving him an operator's perspective across the full evolution of competitive gaming from LAN events to global leagues. He has been building at the intersection of online games, esports, and tech since the late 1990s and consistently frames new technologies through game design and player experience rather than generic tech investment language.
