Mechanism Capital, established in August 2020, initially concentrated on decentralized finance (Defi). However, after achieving remarkable success with investments in the blockchain gaming sector, such as Star Atlas, Ember Sword, and Yield Guild Games, the company shifted its focus to this burgeoning industry.

The addition of Steve Cho as a partner further strengthens Mechanism Capital’s position. Cho, formerly associated with Apple, brings valuable expertise in mobile gaming, which he believes will be the next significant growth area for the industry. During his tenure at Apple, Cho led the App Store and actively sought to enhance his understanding of NFTs and blockchain gaming.
