This week, Peter spoke to VCJ (paywalled) about the Betaworks Ventures investment outlook for 2019, as the fund anticipates making between 9 and 12 seed deals and another 12 to 16 via the pre-seed Camp program.
“We are as active as ever [...] we haven’t slowed our pace.”–Peter Rojas, Betaworks Ventures partner.
Meanwhile, the teams behind our portfolio of existing investments had much to celebrate. Superplastic, creators of limited edition art toys, released their latest SuperJanky: JANKYFÖRTRESS. Over at Gimlet Media, the team celebrated the 1 year anniversary of Chompers, an Alexa skill that guides kids (and adults!) through the teeth brushing process in a fun and engaging way. SquadApp surpassed 1.5K App Store reviews, whilst Trash beat thousands of applicants to receive a National Science Foundation Research Grant.
