ABOUT US
MARK WILSON
CO-FOUNDER / CEO
In 2000 Mark became a venture capitalist with Rubicon Venture Partners based on his contacts within the Silicon Valley technology and venture community. Mark was the driving force along with Scott Orr with the formation of Sorrent (now known as Glu Mobile) in 2001. Glu Mobile went public in 2007 on NASDAQ with a market cap of $364 million. Not since the late 1990’s has the mobile sector seen such a wave of investment. Start-up cellular carriers raised at least $1 billion, according to San Francisco investment bank Rutberg & Co, compared with just $100 million in the three years from 2002 to 2004. More recently, after launching Sorrent, Mark focused his talents on D2C Games, Inc., a Silicon Valley publisher of interactive entertainment products that were digitally distributed “Direct 2 Consumers.” Mark was a member of D2C’s Board of Directors from the inception of the company representing RVP and in 2009 was appointed as CEO and Chairman of the Board of the company until taking the job as Co-Founder and CEO of Vegas Games Inc. Mark and his team have built the first to market mobile and PC Skill Slotz and Skill Poker games into a top 100 global casino app brand marketed by Google in 114 countries. As a venture capitalist Mark was responsible for two NEA exits since 2001, getting NEA involved as the largest investors in Glu Mobile and gaikai. Glu went public in 2007 for $364 million on Nasdaq and sold last year in 2022 to Electronic Arts for $2.4 billion. gaikai sold in 2014 to Sony for $380 million.
