About company
Johnny Monsarrat was founder and CEO of Turbine, which Warner Bros. bought for $160MM. His new company, Monsarrat, is building a tech platform for augmented reality gaming that improves upon Pokemon Go's technology by dramatically increasing player retention and monetization. Monsarrat has a contract from a $10-billion Hollywood franchise, the size of Harry Potter or Star Wars, to use this platform to build a game. The company is uniquely qualified to build this platform because its staff previously invented the technology of MMO gaming, now a $30B industry, at Turbine. The team includes Brian Sullivan, co-creator of $1B-selling Age of Empires, Henrik Strandberg, former Director of Free to Play at Sega, and Eddy Del Castillo, who created Command and Conquer. They have a royalty-based lead financing offer from CityLights, whose Hollywood CEO worked with Steven Spielberg, and are fundraising to close the round.
