Lance is no stranger to the world of startups and entrepreneurship. Having parents who were both entrepreneurs, he started his first business in IT systems integration and cloud computing in 2011. This company was eventually sold to a company in the US for an undisclosed sum in the millions. He has also been an active angel investor, having invested more than $1,000,000 of his own money in startups across multiple sectors over the course of 3 years (directly and indirectly through venture funds). Currently the Founding Partner at Gamerforce Ventures, he aims to back promising founders in the esports and gaming space who have a global ambition and the grit to go through the baptism by fire he went through years ago. Lance is a graduate of the Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship program in Draper University.
