StartPlaying operates an online platform that connects players with tabletop role‑playing games and lets Game Masters monetize sessions. Led by CEO Nate Tucker and founded in September 2020, the San Francisco-based company helps players find games that suit their schedule, preferences, and play style. The platform enables Game Masters to sell seats to sessions and build a professional practice. StartPlaying reports over 100,000 games hosted by more than 1,000 professional Game Masters, who have earned $2.5M and counting. The company raised $6.5M in Seed funding led by Andreessen Horowitz. It plans to use the funds to scale marketing, broaden industry partnerships, and hire talent to grow its user and GM base.
