About

Mitch Lasky brings deep operating experience as a former CEO of mobile game publisher JAMDAT (sold to EA for $680M) and head of EA Mobile, giving him hands-on P&L and studio management experience that most VCs lack. He's widely recognized as a "historian of the games business" who uses 30+ years of industry pattern recognition through his Gamecraft podcast to help founders navigate structural shifts in gaming, from his early investments in Riot Games and cloud streaming to ongoing thesis-driven bets on new game-business architectures.
