Monsarrat Funding & Investors

Cambridge, MA

Our founder Johnny Monsarrat previously co-created the $54B MMO game market, by founding Turbine (Lord of the Rings Online, Asheron's Call), one of the ''big three'' first MMO game companies, a new category. Warner Bros. bought Turbine for $160M. Now, AR mobile walking games earn $1.5B a year, and that works for simple franchises like Pokémon (Pokémon Go). But their ''collecting stuff'' technology has weak gameplay. They can't support big worlds like Harry Potter, whose fans want strong storytelling. That's what our new venture does. I'm creating another new category of gaming, with 3 patents that lay out an entire AR fantasy landscape across a public park. Our technology supports the strong storytelling that better retains and monetizes players.
