This week, we chat with Amber Atherton!
Amber is a British entrepreneur and investor based in San Francisco. She’s a Partner at Patron, an early-stage venture capital firm shaping the future of gaming and online communities, and the Founder of The Atherton Award, which honors young women pursuing careers in STEM and entrepreneurship.
A lifelong builder, Amber began coding as a kid in Hong Kong before founding Zyper, a Y Combinator–backed community software startup that used NLP and computer vision to connect creators and their top fans. Zyper was later acquired by Discord, where Amber led growth, launched new international markets, and spearheaded revenue initiatives.
Recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30 and Business Insider’s Rising Stars in VC, Amber continues to shape the future of community, technology, and venture.
