First-gen web3 games captured the imagination (and wallets) of millions worldwide. What's next?

Join Philip Collins, an associate at Konvoy Ventures, which is a prominent gaming fund that focuses on the infrastructure, technologies, and platforms that drive the frontier of gaming. Konvoy recently launched a $150mn fund to back a target of 30 gaming firms over the next two and a half years, which includes web3 gaming entities.

Philip’s position on the team gives him a birds-eye view of the direction that early-stage gaming ventures are starting to turn in the space, and we’re keen to get his take on where web3 gaming evolves from here.
