Meet Our Team
Empowering Visionaries, Dreaming of Crafting Legends
We are seasoned entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders passionate about games and empowering game founders to build the next gen of games & gametech. Our partners and mentors bring a wealth of experience from founding & scaling startups, leading well-known companies, and driving success in the gaming, media, and tech.
We support our founders hands-on and provide feedback, resources, and a vast network, together with 30+ mentors from top companies, including Valve, Blizzard, Activision, Sega, Peak, Unity, Microsoft, AWS, and our global VC network,
to turn early-stage startups into legends.
Lorien was built to be the place we wished existed when we started. An ecosystem where experience, talent, and vision converge to support the best-in-class gaming founders. Created by a group of entrepreneurs, investors, and industry veterans, we know the highs, the grind, and the hurdles of daring to build something extraordinary. ​
We’ve taken what we’ve learned—successes, failures, and everything in between—and channeled it into creating a real system that does more than talk. Lorien is about action: helping founders build, secure funding, receive mentorship, and connect with the right people at the right time.
Founding Team
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
Our team is more than just a group of experts; we’re ex-founders, builders, investors, and strategists united by a shared love for games and innovation.

Collaboration over hierarchy, action over talk, and a relentless focus on helping founders succeed. We value turning ideas into action, ambition into impact.
