As our mission at Creative Entrepreneurs to bring together the resources, inspiration and networks creative people need to startup and grow their own businesses, we launched ‘The Founder Files,’ our new conversation series which lets you hear directly from and engage directly with some of the most exciting creative Founders around. People tell us they often find this more valuable than technical business advice.
We kicked-off on Tuesday 12 July with ‘Mills’ Miller, Co-Founder of ustwo, the creator of multi-award-winningcult videogame ‘Monument Valley.’ Fans of ‘House of Cards’ will recall Frank Underwood getting hooked on Monument Valley in The White House here.
Guests had a chance to ask Mills how he and co-Founder ‘Sinx’ Sinclair grew ustwo from a passion project between two childhood friends into four global businesses across three continents, while staying unshakably committed to creating, as Mills puts it, ‘the type of art you need to put on your wall.’
To keep the creative juices flowing, we hosted the event at Tileyard Studios, a thriving creative ecosystem just north of Kings Cross. It’s home to the music studios of artists including Mark Ronson, The Prodigy and Basement Jaxx, as well as a wide spectrum of creative companies working in film & TV, fashion and creative tech. And, yes, Uptown Funk did spring from here, but that’s just a detail.
You can see the video of Mills in conversation with Creative Entrepreneurs Founder Carolyn Dailey here.
