Hi, Product Hunt team! I'm Matt Mazzeo, Managing Director of Lowercase Capital. My partner @sacca and I find, back, and support early stage teams across the startup landscape. We invest across almost every segment. A few of our more recent investments are Mobcrush, Mark43, Dubsmash, Medium, Makespace, InVenture, Digital Genius, Slack, and Next Games in addition to the teams at Uber, Stripe, Twitter, Instagram, and Docker.
Before Lowercase, I was an agent at Creative Artists Agency, helping clients at one of the largest entertainement and sports agencies build businesses in tech. Die hard LA Kings and Lakers fan. Part time LA sushi tour guide.

Hey Matt - thanks for taking the time today.
Considering your background at CAA:
[True!] or [False!] - The live music industry's internal technology will evolve dramatically; 'build vs buy' data/infrastructure is at a significant inflection point, particularly for large operations. (Why, or why not?)

Hi Matt -
There is a ton of investment opportunity outside of tech in industries like real estate or traditional brick and mortar stores. Have you ever considered raising a new Lowercase fund or making adjustments to your investment strategy to tackle non-tech related ideas?

Welcome Matt! I know that you've expressed interest in the eSports scene. Have you had interest investing in any eSports companies out there? Where do you see potential eSports growth?
