About Dave Bateman
Public information about this investor's career is limited. Lounge has not confirmed a company history, and this page does not list one.
Press coverage of the 23 Broadway seed round names the participating individual as "Dave Bartman". Lounge's deals desk records the name as Dave Bateman. Searches also found other people named David Bateman, including a former Entrata CEO and a London lender at Claret Capital Partners. Nothing found links either of them to this investment, so none of their history is attributed here. Founders should confirm the identity directly through the LinkedIn profile listed on this page.
The one AI round on record is 23 Broadway's seed. 23 Broadway announced the $3 million seed round on 18 March 2026. Betty and Will Ventures co-led it, and 359 Capital, CEAS Investments and the individual named in the announcement took part. Lounge lists the round as $3.3M, while the press coverage reports $3 million. The difference is not explained in the sources found.
23 Broadway is building an AI-powered platform for user acquisition financing. It pairs non-dilutive capital with performance marketing and its own technology, including a predictive modelling platform called Atlas. The company is aimed at growth-stage gaming businesses.
No public statement from this investor about preferred stages, sectors, geographies or check size was found. The only recorded AI investment is a seed round in an AI-enabled fintech and marketing company serving gaming operators. That is a single data point and does not show a wider thesis. The size of this investor's own check in the round was not disclosed.
