Today we have Jeff burton, founding employee of Electonric arts and former Executive director of Cal berkeley’s SkyDeck Accelerator at Startup Grind Sacramento. Jeff was one of the founding team members of EA, overseeing international business development. I hadn’t known this previously but EA was started by a group of marketing execs from companies like Atari and Apple who focused on working with small publishers in the beginning and really transformed the way that games were presented to consumers. Lots of really interesting facts about the early days of both Atari and Electronic Arts. Fun fact our Founder, Derek Andersen worked for 5 years at EA before founding Startup Grind.
