zVentures Web3 Incubator​ (ZW3I)​

The zVentures Web3 Incubator will play a pivotal role in helping founders and developers ​build the next generation of blockchain-enabled gaming companies and projects.​

zVentures is the early-stage venture arm of Razer and an essential part of its strategic investment activities. We have established the zVentures Web3 Incubator (ZW3I) to work closely with truly unique blockchain-enabled gaming projects that we believe will transform the gaming experience.

We believe that the foundation of any successful game (be it Web 2.0 or Web 3.0) is immersive and engaging gameplay. While blockchain technology can bring innovative new features to games, the core fundamentals for what makes a great game is the same for all games. Many blockchain games on the market today focus primarily on utilizing blockchain technology rather than creating an engaging and enjoyable gameplay experience, resulting in a lack of player interest and retention.

Through ZW3I, zVentures will prioritize game quality in its selection process for identifying promising Web 3.0 game titles and partners. The focus will be on supporting new game developers/publishers that are focused on the gameplay experience first as well as game developers that already have a strong track record in creating successful Web 2.0 games as they transition to incorporating blockchain technology and enter the Web 3.0 ecosystem.

Selected game companies will receive access to Razer’s marketing and partnership support programs to help build enjoyable and revolutionary games for the global gaming community. They will also have access to Razer's strong ecosystem of hardware, software and service, as well as zVentures’ wide network of partnerships.
