Paul Heydon
Angel · London, England, United Kingdom · 9 investments in Video Games startups

I have 30+ years as a founder, operator, investor, board member and advisor. I have founded/co-founded multiple companies and have dealt with cofounder issues directly. I have invested in individual companies that have achieved $2b in revenue, $1b in profit, $30b in valuation. Plus on the other side of the spectrum, I have seen lots ofdifferent poor behaviour by some investors, founders and lawyers. My value add is: - the ability to quickly filter out the wrong people. - fundraising - strategy - focus - making tough decisions - cashflow planningCurrently investing directly in startups (mainly tech) at all stages and in funds (most asset classes) as an LP globally. I invested early in Supercell (majority acquired by Tencent), Unity Software (NYSE:U), Radiant Entertainment (acquired by Riot Games), Boomlagoon (acquired by Wargaming), Peak (acquired by Hachette Livre), Gameclub (acquired by Take-Two Interactive), Doppio Games (acquired by Fortis). Previously, I cofounded a seed VC firm & was an investment banker at various firms. I have both a HBA & MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business at University of Western Ontario in Canada.If you message me with a pitch deck link for your company or fund then do not send me a docsend link or anything requesting an email and or password as I will ignore it. And make sure you detail the team background, why it’s the best team and why you will win.I’m also open to board positions for companies in Europe and North America.

Dan Bunting
Angel · Santa Monica, California, United States · 3 investments in Video Games startups

With over twenty years of experience building teams and heading game development projects, Dan Bunting is a seasoned creative leader. Starting at the video game company Treyarch Studios in 2003, Bunting established a reputation as a problem-solver, team motivator and creative innovator that defined his career path through the years. His work on theCall of Duty: Black Ops series led to it becoming one of the most successful franchises in video game history, breaking records during a time of transition for the industry.Bunting started as an Associate Producer for Treyarch, following on the heels of its acquisition by gaming giant Activision Blizzard in 2001. During the development of Call of Duty: United Offensive - the first follow-up title to the original Call of Duty in 2003 - Treyarch and Gray Matter Studios joined forces to produce Call of Duty 2: Big Red One. Bunting went on to serve as a Producer for the next two Treyarch-produced games in the series, Call of Duty 3 and Call of Duty: World at War.Treyarch’s next title in the franchise was Call of Duty: Black Ops, the sequel to Call of Duty: World at War. Bunting took on the role of Senior Producer for the game, which upon its release broke the record for the largest launch in history in any form of entertainment. Breaking the record within 24 hours of its release by selling 5.6 million units, Black Ops grossed over $650 million in its first week alone and subsequently held the title of best-selling game ever for three years.After the monumental success of Call of Duty: Black Ops, the game was turned into a sub-franchise of its own, and Bunting worked as Online Director for its sequel Call of Duty: Black Ops II. It was the first Call of Duty game to include League Play, a competitive mode that allowed recreational players of similar skill level to be matched and compete in the style of professional gaming for seasonal rankings. He then served as Game Director for Call of Duty: Black Ops III, the top-selling retail game in the United States in the year of its release and one of the most successful titles released for the seventh generation of video game consoles. At the end of 2024, Black Ops III was in the news again for breaking into the top 15 games sold of all time.As internet speeds and availability increased over the years, Bunting helped Treyarch pivot to the “games-as-a-service” format toward which the industry had been moving for the previous decade. During his time as Game Director for Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Activision also announced a new three-year development cycle for titles in the Call of Duty franchise, and Bunting was instrumental in shepherding his teams through the transition to a year-round service-oriented development model. Bunting’s strong leadership abilities and creative problem-solving have been cornerstones of his career, and in 2017, he became Co-Studio Head of Treyarch. Operating in one of the most demanding of industries, Treyarch Studios enjoyed strong employee retention levels; around 50 percent of the full-time staffers at the studio during Bunting’s time in leadership had been there for 10 years or more. As Co-Studio Head, Bunting continued his focus on creating an environment in which teams could thrive and create awesome game experiences for the world to enjoy.

  • Anzu.io — Anzu is an in-game advertising platform that introduces native, creative, and dynamically-updated ads to video games and esports.
  • OpenBCI — OpenBCI is a low-cost, programmable, open-source EEG platform that gives anybody with computer access to their brain waves. Their vision is to realize the potential of the open-source movement to accelerate innovation in brain science through collaborative hardware and software development. Behind the many lines of code and circuit diagrams,OpenBCI has a growing community of scientists, engineers, designers, makers, and a whole bunch of other people who are interested in furthering our understanding of the brain. We feel that the biggest challenges in understanding what makes us who we are cannot be solved by a company, an institution, or even an entire field of science. Rather, we believe these discoveries will be made through an open forum of shared knowledge and concerted effort by people from many different disciplines. Today, the leading brain-computer interface (BCI) companies distribute fixed devices with limited or closed access to the algorithms that translate raw EEG signals to meaningful data. These devices are powerful and effective for application development but not ideal for R&D requiring adjustable hardware setups and direct control over the signal processing techniques. OpenBCI is fully accessible and powered by an open-source community of hardware and software builders, making it easy for creators of any skill level and ideal for researchers who haven’t yet settled on the perfect system design. The OpenBCI platform is intended to serve as a malleable starting point in the rapidly growing field of brain-computer interfacing.
