Razer

Razer makes venture investments in emerging technology and sustainability startups through zVentures, its corporate venture arm. The vehicle sits within a company founded in 2005 that designs and builds gaming hardware, software and services, and that describes itself as the world's leading lifestyle brand for gamers. Investment activity is directed at two stated areas: emerging technology and sustainability.

The parent's operating base provides the strategic context for those investments. Razer's technical domains include AI-powered software, gaming hardware design, RGB lighting technology, and the integration of software, hardware and services. Its product portfolio comprises Razer Cortex, an AI-powered gaming application; Razer Chroma, its RGB lighting technology; precision-crafted ultra-thin gaming laptops; and precision gaming peripherals - a line that began with the company's first gaming mouse. Industry verticals span gaming, consumer electronics, esports, gaming software and sustainability.

Razer is co-headquartered in Singapore and Irvine, California, and operates 19 offices across five continents. The company grew from a small gaming mouse startup into a global gaming lifestyle brand, with engineering and design teams iterating on product feedback from a large global community and esports partnerships with professional teams. Sustainability initiatives include the Sneki Snek campaign.
