Casey Pugh
(K-see 💩)
Hi there! I'm the co-founder of 
Definitely Games, an a16z backed studio building ridiculous multiplayer co-op games.
I'm an Emmy & Peabody award winning creative technologist that has spent the last 19 years blending tech, design, and code into a fine soup.
Since 2019 I've focused on game dev, launching the Apple Design Finalist & Editors' Choice mobile adaptation of the popular tabletop game 
Wavelength.
Things I'm proud of
- I won an Emmy & Peabody for creating the first crowdsourced film, Star Wars Uncut. As a followup I collaborated with Lucasfilm on Empire Strikes Back Uncut. SWU has inspired a generation of crowdsourced fan remakes that include: Conan O'Brien's "OCCUPY CONAN", AMC's Mad Men Fan Cut, Robocop Remake, Shrek Retold, Our Frasier Remake, and many many more.
- Jamie and I co-founded VHX where I ran product. What started off as a social video experiment, pivoted to a platform for selling movies/TV/video direct to fans. It was acquired by Vimeo in 2016 and now powers their enterprise business. The company was backed by USV, Comcast Ventures, Chris Sacca, Alexis Ohanian, Matt Mullenweg and more.
- Founded Vimeo Creator Labs, an R&D team that created some novel innovations.
- I built the OG Vimeo player, helped scale Vimeo, and bring HD video to the interwebs. (RIP Adobe Flash)
- Helped create GAWDS, the first generative holographic NFT.
- Helped Looking Glass launch a platform for sharing and distributing holograms. (Can you tell I like holograms?)
