Northern Forge Studios

Founder & Executive Chairman of an Ottawa game studio. Orna (a GPS RPG, 2.3M+ downloads) and Hero of Aethric. Bootstrap Capital Award, 2023.

I was looking for the next thing after You.i, and I'm a Pokémon GO addict. I went searching for similar games and found Orna — then discovered the studio behind it was in my own city. I joined as an adviser, then as a co-founder. The studio is small, the games are for geeks, and I love it.
