Greycroft venture partner Jon Goldman has closed a $15.6 million fund to invest in virtual reality, augmented reality, games, and esports. Greycroft Partners is a limited partner and investor in the GC VR Gaming Tracker Fund, but Goldman will be investing the fund on his own as he looks for smaller investments ranging from $50,000 to $500,000 per startup. While Goldman recently closed the fund, he has already made 20 investments in since early 2016, Goldman said in an exclusive interview with GamesBeat.

Goldman’s portfolio includes Mindshow, LiveLike, SliverTV, Littlstar, UploadVR, and FanAI. The fund has committed more than $4 million in investments so far, but Goldman said that he expects he’ll have money to invest through 2019.
