Griffin Gaming Partners announced an oversubscribed second fund with at least $750 million committed. While the fund has a broader gaming industry focus, Griffin Partners co-founders and managing directors Phil Sanderson and Nick Tuosto told CoinDesk it has already logged 16 investments related to Web 3 to date, which accounted for more than half of the deployed capital.
“[Web 3] is one of our central theses from a macro perspective within games,” Tuosto said. “It’s our view that the enablement of digital asset ownership within games may be the single most important technological unlock in the history of games.”

Investments for Griffin’s Fund II came from major institutions, university endowments, family offices, sovereign wealth funds and strategic partners in the gaming industry, Tuosto told CoinDesk.
Griffin Gaming was founded in 2019 by Sanderson, Tuosto and Peter Levin, with LionTree – a boutique merger-and-acquisition firm where Tuosto serves as managing director – as a strategic partner to Griffin, which has more than $1 billion in assets under management.
