Astralis Capital
Astralis Capital is a Beverly Hills-based venture firm investing in gaming, sports, and media seed-stage companies.
Astralis Capital
Tisno Onggara and Evan Meyer co-founded Astralis Capital in 2021, establishing the firm in Beverly Hills with a mandate concentrated on the digital transformation of gaming, sports, and media. Onggara brought three decades of cross-border investing and a family-office lens through his single-family office, Clearview Ventures; Meyer contributed an institutional venture background from Glade Brook Capital Partners and an investment-banking career spanning Lehman Brothers and Macquarie Capital USA. The firm writes initial checks at seed and early stage, targeting companies that sit at the intersection of gaming, sports, fintech, and media. Its collaborative model emphasizes strategic guidance and market-entry support alongside equity capital — a posture reflected in publicly referenced portfolio companies such as SportsGrid, the free ad-supported sports-wagering network, and numberFire, the analytics platform acquired by FanDuel. The team operates from Beverly Hills, while co-founder Evan Meyer is based in São Paulo, embedding a working connection to Latin American deal flow and capital networks. Astralis added Adam Kaplan as General Partner in 2025, deepening its operational bench with a former FanDuel Group GM and numberFire COO. The firm has not disclosed total assets under management, but its structure — a managing-partner-led investment platform with a lean senior team — matches the operating model of a sector-specialist venture group rather than a diversified multi-strategy fund. Onggara continues to run Clearview Ventures alongside Astralis, effectively linking a personal family-office co-investment capability to the firm's early-stage pipeline. What distinguishes Astralis is its deliberately narrow sector aperture paired with a dual-hemisphere partner footprint. Few seed-stage gaming-and-sports specialists maintain a senior partner resident in Brazil, complemented by a Los Angeles headquarters, giving the firm a structural bridge between North American media tech and Latin American capital and consumer markets.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Astralis Capital?
Co-Founders and Managing Partners Tisno Onggara and Evan Meyer lead the firm, with General Partner Adam Kaplan joining in 2025. Onggara brings cross-border investment experience and operates his single-family office, Clearview Ventures, alongside Astralis. Meyer contributes venture capital expertise from Glade Brook Capital Partners and a Wall Street banking background. The small senior team structure suggests investment decisions are made collectively by the partners.
How does Astralis Capital source proprietary deal flow?
The firm's dual-hemisphere footprint is a key sourcing differentiator: it is anchored in Beverly Hills while Meyer resides in São Paulo, bridging North American gaming and media ecosystems with Latin America. Adam Kaplan's operational track record — including leadership roles at FanDuel, numberFire, and SportsGrid — provides deep industry relationships across sports wagering, fantasy sports, and ad-supported streaming.
Is Astralis Capital structured as a single family office or a venture firm?
Astralis Capital operates as a private equity asset manager, not a single family office. However, Managing Partner Tisno Onggara concurrently runs the single-family office Clearview Ventures, creating an adjacent pool of family capital that can participate alongside Astralis opportunities.
What investment stages does Astralis Capital typically target?
Astralis focuses on early-stage investments, specifically seed and start-up rounds. The firm emphasizes a posture of providing long-term capital and operational support, aiming to partner with companies from their earliest phases through scale-up and transformation within gaming, sports, and media sectors.
Which sectors does Astralis Capital invest in, and are there any explicit exclusions?
The firm explicitly targets gaming, sports, media, and fintech companies participating in digital transformation. Earlier in their careers, the partners have also operated in biotechnology, cannabis, and consumer goods, but the current mandate appears tightly focused on the intersection of interactive entertainment and financial technology. No formally stated sector exclusions appear in publicly available materials.
Does Astralis Capital maintain any investment operations outside the United States?
The firm's headquarters is in Beverly Hills, California, but Co-Founder Evan Meyer operates from São Paulo, Brazil. This arrangement provides a permanent senior presence in Latin America, facilitating deal sourcing and capital relationships in that region while the firm's primary legal and operational center remains in the United States.
What is Astralis Capital's posture on co-investments alongside external partners?
Astralis describes itself as a collaborative partner to founders rather than a passive capital source. The concurrent operation of Onggara's family office, Clearview Ventures, suggests capacity for co-investment structures when deal size or structure warrants additional capital, though the firm has not published a formal co-investment policy.
