The way we interact with digital media is changing before our eyes. 

Hollywood and AAA game publishers are no longer the only players in town. Creative tools are continuing to become more affordable, more accessible, and now much more powerful thanks to AI. As these tools make their way into the hands of everyday enjoyers, dreamers, and creatives, the lines between creating and consuming are being blurred. 

This digital media revolution is accelerating alongside crypto’s steady convergence with the traditional worlds of software and finance, setting the stage for new forms of truly user-created and user-owned digital experiences. At Archetype, we are firm believers that these developments are setting gaming on the path towards a mass transformation—one that is AI-native, player-driven, and crypto-powered.

We’re very excited to lead the $5M Seed round for Remix, the AI-powered gaming platform that is already bringing this future to life.

Founded by brothers Charlie and Bobby, Remix features its own suite of AI tools that anyone can use to easily spin up new mobile games. Both first-time vibe coders and seasoned developers can create and publish games with Remix, immediately making their creations accessible to Remix’s 600K player audience across Telegram, World App, Coinbase Wallet, Farcaster, and soon, Remix’s own mobile app. But perhaps the platform’s biggest strength lies in its crypto-native composability and monetization—it can deeply connect and reward creators, players, and their communities in a way no other gaming platform can. 

Remix touts over 900 live games and has collaborated with some of the largest brands in crypto, including Doodles, Nouns, and Base. These brands have turned to Remix to create interactive social experiences based on their IP that go deeper than the passive brand interactions of yesterday’s social media channels. This ability to cultivate more impactful experiences is establishing Remix as the future of not only programmable play, but programmable culture.

And as the name and its blockchain foundation suggests, games on Remix are forkable by default—every game can be infinitely modded right out of the box. The platform functions less like Steam and more like TikTok for gaming, where a living feed of remixable games replaces videos. Remix is tapping into the Zynga era of easy to pick up social games but layering on a new set of user-generated abilities and monetization methods. 

As the world of digital media continues to grow larger and weirder, it has been refreshing to see a company like Remix take these drastic changes in stride. Charlie, Bobby, and the rest of the team are bringing together the best features of gaming, crypto, and AI to create a genuinely unique and sustainable new form of game studio. Remix isn’t just building a game development toolkit, they’re creating a powerful new ecosystem for the three billion gamers around the world.
