About Us
We are gamers, influencers, marketing experts, game developers, tech wizards, mental health professionals, entrepreneurs, and people who care about all gamers – especially those who do not have a voice.
We Get You. We listen. We lead with Heart, Empathy and Humility.
We can do good by:
Using technologies like Blockchain to authenticate credentials to boot out trolls that prefer anonymity.
Using technologies like dynamic causal modeling and AI/ML to mine for gamer behaviors.
Reward the human behaviors we want to see MORE of in this world!

Introducing VENT – The Virtual Mental Health Space for Gamers
Tens of thousands of gamers nationwide are struggling with mental health issues. Richie Knows developed VENT as a virtual mental health resource for gamers, and we learned that many gamers are looking for somebody to talk to – and many more are willing to listen.
The VENT community mental health space was originally conceived as a product offering and retention tool. It proved to resonate so strongly with users and mental health professionals that it caught the attention of, and received endorsements from, national mental health service providers.
We believe this offering will both drive users to the Richie Knows gamer community, and can also be white labeled and applied to other local communities across the country.
The essence of VENT is delivering community-driven mental health solutions in a safe, supportive virtual environment. People play games to distract themselves from real life. They seek real life social connection, commonality, and the need to belong.
Confirming the Need
Richie Knows is a hyper-local social platform that micro-connects gamers and creates unparalleled opportunity for advertisers and influencers to efficiently reach gamers with guaranteed engagement.

Being local is the most efficient way to reach gamers and build a community at scale
Gaming starts at home.
Home connects a sense of belonging and encompasses the people, places, sights, sounds, smells, and memories we identify with which create meaning, happiness, and fulfillment in our lives.
Gamers want to connect. Knowing six or more neighbors has a dramatic impact on feelings of loneliness and social isolation.

Microverse
Virtual cities providing on/off ramps for every metaverse and Web3 initiative
Web3. Metaverse. Crypto. Tokens. Blockchain.
Futurists are polarized on what Web3 will be. Investors too. Gamers want to scream “it’s just another monetization scam.” Some praise a decentralized Internet and unimaginable, interoperable virtual worlds. Others see a bubble of epic proportion.
Richie Knows sees opportunity. Why guess what the metaverse or Web3 will become? Richie Knows can take everyone else’s marketing dollars now, while fostering an enduring trust and deep relationship between advertisers and gamers.
Richie Knows metaverse strategy is the Microverse.™
