The LOGIN conference is just a few days away! The agenda was posted this morning in full here, and the keynote speaker was announced, Kevin Chou. This is one single-day conference you do not want to miss for its conference networking opportunities!
Kevin Chou is co-founder and CEO of Kabam, the western world leader in free-to-play mobile games for traditional players. Kevin is an entrepreneur who has guided Kabam’s explosive growth, which started with a handful of people working above a dim sum restaurant and catapulted to $360 million in revenue, sustained profitability, and more than 750 employees worldwide by the end of 2013.
Since co-founding Kabam in 2006, Kevin has led the disruption of the video game industry by revolutionizing the way players access and pay for games. He has secured partnerships with leading game platforms, as well as with Hollywood studio giants such as Paramount Pictures, Warner Brothers, MGM, and NBCUniversal for games based on some of the world’s most beloved movie franchises. Under Kevin’s leadership, Kabam has raised more than $125 million in capital from venture and strategic investors including Google, Intel, Canaan, Redpoint, Pinnacle, SK Telecom, Warner Brothers, and MGM.
Before co-founding Kabam, Kevin worked at the global venture capital firm Canaan Partners, where he invested in 14 consumer technology and online media companies. Earlier, Kevin advised public technology companies on M&A and corporate finance as part of Deutsche Bank’s technology investment banking practice.
Kevin graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from UC Berkeley with a BS in Business Administration. At UC Berkeley, Kevin was admitted into the inaugural class of Gates Millennium Scholars. He was named by Fortune as one of the “Smartest People in Tech,” and the Los Angeles Times called him “absurdly accomplished.”
