Sir Ian Livingstone CBE brings an unusually complete perspective to games investing, having built the industry from a 1970s bedroom startup through public company CEO to institutional VC, which he says makes him as experienced as anybody in recognizing potential success stories and coaching founders through every stage from first product to unicorn-scale exits. He blends his Hiro Capital role with founding a state school built around digital creativity and co-authoring the UK NextGen review that brought computing into the national curriculum, reinforcing his long-term bet on games, coding, and creative skills as core to the future economy.
