Lucra Sports raises $20 million for eSports startup despite venture capital focus on AI

Lucra Sports founder and CEO Dylan Robbins found a way to stand out at a moment when many venture capital firms were fixated on artificial intelligence, helping the eSports startup raise $20 million, according to TechCrunch. The company’s fundraising story is notable because, as TechCrunch reports, Robbins did something earlier this year that no one else had done and later shared several of the tactics behind it.
