Founder and CEO

Good Morning Web3

With 30,000 members, gmw3 is the education job for all things web3, and acting as bridge for brands to enter the space. 
Previously operating at VRFocus.com, the publication was one of the largest consumer website and community for VR/AR and gaming news, with over 2M unique readers a year.

Owner

Kout

Kout's vision was to gamify shopping. Users play free games sponsored by brands, for a chance to win discounts on 4 millions of products, from partners such as Amazon, Nike, Unilever, Virgin and Samsung. Funded by #1 madtech accelerator Collider and top angels. Couldn't get unit economics right so eventually pivoted towards custom B2B integrations for retailers.

Co-Founder

The Octalysis Group

Spent a year as part-time associate at Octalysis Group, the world #1 gamification consultancy lead by Yu-kai Chou (Gamification Guru of the Year 2014/2015, TED speaker, author). Clients include Google, Accenture, Lego, IBM, HP, eBay, Yahoo... Learnt about user and game psychology, behavioural science directly from world renowned experts - something that is at the core of all products I design.

Associate

Betify

Betify was a TikTok for competitive people. Users snap videos of 'challenges' and the more upvotes they collect, the best rewards they win. Rewards are sponsored by brands, to engage their audience in new ways, for fun or for a good cause - such as the 'ice bucket challenge' back in 2014. Launched with a bang by hiring dozens of student ambassadors to create live challenges in Universities, hijack events (SW4 festival) and sponsored upcoming athletes (wakeboard, basejump). Never managed to hit critical mass to excite large brands.

RogueTrader

RogueTrader was the first arcade trading game for iPhone, pioneering hypercasual games before it was a thing. Grew virally with $0 spend, to get featured #2 on the Finance category of the AppStore, appeared on US National TV, and was Finalist of Game to Watch 2014.

CEO Landvault & Matera Protocol | Building the 3D internet | Metaverse | Blockchain | $40m raised

→ CEO of Landvault, building infrastructure for the metaverse (we call it the 3D internet)
→ CEO Matera Protocol, building a web3 creator economy on top of web2 content
→ Raised $40M from top VCs
→ In-game advertising pioneer with Admix (now rebranded Landvault)

The company was previously called Admix, rebranded after a merger to enter web3. Previously, Admix allowed content creators to monetize real estate within their games or the metaverse, via product placements. We work with 300+ games and hundreds of advertisers.

Most brands don’t realise that ChatGPT will put them out of business 🤯

Think of this: right now you have your own website, your social media pages, maybe an app

These are the ‘spaces’ where you interact directly with your customers and do business 🤝

What happens when most searches happen on ChatGPT or other AI tools?

Well, they’re not redirecting to your site like Google did

Instead they are ‘deciding’ who will appear in the results 

Could be you… or could be your competitors 💀

The truth is that AI companies are getting between you and your customers, becoming gatekeepers to YOUR business!

Are you willing to bet it all on GEO? On affiliate links?

If you are not in direct contact with your customers, you are not in control of your business 

You need to fight to keep that space where you can interact directly with your customers 🙏🏼

That’s the primary reason we are building a product called Spaces so you can deploy AI on your terms, on your website - and own all the data from the interactions with your customers 

Let’s build AI to give power back to small business owners, and create a fairer internet - not build more monopolies ✅
