When Playco announced its $100 million Series A funding last September, the co-lead investors were Sequoia Global Equities and Josh Buckley, a solo VC who at the time was investing from his first $50 million fund.
In a co-led deal, one lead investor usually sets the terms and the other joins with an equal-sized check.
In the Playco deal, it was Buckley, an under-the-radar investor, rather than the legendary Sequoia, who determined the price of the round and took the board seat at the gaming company.
Since then, Buckley, who juggles investing with his role as the CEO of Product Hunt, has raised his second $200 million fund, according to a person familiar with the matter. In addition, Buckley, a co-founder of Mino Games, in July launched Hyper, a Y Combinator-like accelerator program with partners including Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz.

LOS ANGELES – Loretta Hsueh, 31, knew her parents were at high risk for COVID-19. The elderly Taiwanese immigrants had chronic health problems and managed a grocery store in Riverside, California, where many of the employees and customers were also immigrants or people of color. For nearly a year, they washed their hands and wore masks, and hoped for the best.
After COVID-19 vaccinations began in December, Hsueh assumed the local government would ensure all grocery store workers would be contacted about getting the vaccine. When that didn t happen, Hsueh suggested her parents call the one phone number listed on the county s COVID vaccination website to get help. But the worker who answered the phone didn t speak Mandarin and said he couldn t help them get an appointment.
