Today we would like to talk about the top 5 crypto games from Animoca Brands, the company is not only an investment giant, but also a game developer. Animoca Brands was founded by entrepreneur Yat Siu in 2014 and to date the company has invested in hundreds of projects, but few people know that they also have their own games, and Yat Siu has an impressive entrepreneurial background.
Yat Siu started his career in the mid-90s at Atari Germany, then moved to the position of director and head of East Coast Operations for Lexicor and founded Cybercity in '96, which was renamed Freenation. Yat Siu is known not only as the co-founder of Animoca Brands, but also as the founder and CEO of Outblaze. A Hong Kong company he founded in 1998 during the dot-com bubble. The company was engaged in the registration of domain names and the provision of postal services on the Internet.
At its peak in the messaging sector, Outblaze was reported to be serving more than 75 million users worldwide with 40 million Outblaze-managed email accounts, plus at least 35 million users protected by Outblaze's anti-spam solution. But Yat Siu faced serious competition from Google, which provided customers with 1 GB of free email and subsequently, unable to withstand the competition, part of the Outblaze business was sold to IBM in 2009. Based on these resources, IBM established the first cloud computing laboratory in Hong Kong, including it in Lotus Live and integrated into products such as: Skype or Whatsapp, LinkedIn, Salesforce, UPS and Silanis
In early 2011, Outblaze co-founded Animoca to build popular apps like Pretty Pet Salonthat caught the attention of Silicon Valley venture capitalists. Among others, Intel (INTC) Capital based in Santa Clara, California has invested in Animoca.
So, it can be said that Animoca Brands, like Yat Siu, are not random figures in web3 and Yat Siu has tremendous experience and an incredible journey from becoming web2 and the experience of the dotcom bubble helped him achieve success in the web3 crypto bubble.
