Moritz is a private investor, and a senior advisor to OpenAI, McKinsey, and TPG. He is a former partner at Lightspeed, a globally leading VC firm with $43 billion in assets, over 200 exits, and 13 offices across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Portfolio companies include Anthropic, Anduril, Databricks, Epic Games, Helsing, Neuralink, OpenAI, Periodic Labs, Ramp, Reflection, Skild, SpaceX, SSI, Stripe, Suno, and xAI.

Every year, Moritz hosts the CEO Forum at GDC, the world's largest gathering of gaming, media, and technology CEOs. He is an investor, board member, and advisor to extraordinary founders who led the creation of multi-billion-dollar platforms and technologies—including institutional early investments in Palantir, SpaceX, and OpenAI, resulting in top-percentile IRR and DPI track records to date.

A longtime advocate for world models, Moritz is also a founding member of General Intuition, the leading frontier research lab for general action policies, based on an unparalleled dataset of human performance in video games. Across multiple funding rounds, the startup has become Vinod Khosla's largest bet since OpenAI.

Prior, Moritz was a partner and management team member at VC firm BITKRAFT, where he helped scale assets to $850 million. Before that, Moritz was a top-ranked vice president at Goldman Sachs, where he founded and led the firm’s global gaming practice. During his tenure, he advised clients on over $300 billion in M&A, IPOs, and other transactions. Preceding his finance career, he worked in strategy and data science roles at IBM.

A lifelong gamer, Moritz spent his teenage years competing in Blizzard’s Diablo II, culminating in a #1 ranking among over 12 million players. The first in his family to graduate high school, he sold the virtual items earned in-game to afford his college tuition—two decades before digital asset trading entered the mainstream.

Moritz holds an M.B.A. and M.A. from Stanford, where he graduated as Arjay Miller Scholar and ERP Scholar (“German Rhodes”), and previously studied machine learning, philosophy, and psychology at Harvard University, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, and Berlin School of Economics. He was recognized among the “30 Under 30” (Forbes), “40 Under 40” (Capital), "Young Leaders Circle" (Milken Institute), and “Young Global Leaders” (World Economic Forum).

In his personal time, Moritz is an avid Ironman and ultramarathon athlete, including the 257 km Marathon des Sables and the World Marathon Challenge (7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 consecutive days), and a loving girl dad.
