About Steven Hoffman

In Silicon Valley, Steven Hoffman is known as Captain Hoff. He’s the Captain and Chairman of Founders Space, where he has educated and trained hundreds of startup founders and corporate executives in the art of innovation.


Always innovating on his life, Hoffman has tried more professions than cats have lives, including serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist, angel investor, mobile studio head, computer engineer, filmmaker, Hollywood TV exec, published author, coder, game designer, manga rewriter, animator and voice actor.

 

As a boy Hoffman dreamed of making movies and games. He created over 50 short films and 80 games before graduating high school. Pursuing his passions, he earned a BS in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Barbara and a Masters in Cinema Television from USC.

 

His first job in Hollywood was reading TV scripts, but he quickly rose to development executive. Moving to Japan, he went on to work at Sega, where his group collaborated with Hollywood on interactive movies and games.

 

Upon returning to Silicon Valley, Hoffman founded LavaMind, which produced dozens of online and mobile games, as well as designed digital products for Disney, Qualcomm, Intel, MetLife and Sesame Workshop.

 

Hoffman launched Spiderdance, his second startup, producing interactive TV shows for MTV, NBC, Warner Brothers, TBS, Sony and A&E. At the same time, Hoffman helped found the Academy of Television’s Interactive Media Group and the Producers Guild New Media Council.

 

After writing a book on game design, Hoffman joined Infospace, as their North American Studio Head, where he ran US mobile games. Hoffman then cofounded three venture funded startups focused on media, games and entertainment.

 

Today, Hoffman heads Founders Space and works with entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and investors in 22 countries to create innovations that rock the world!


在硅谷史提芬·霍夫曼被人称作为霍夫船长。他是创始人空间(Founders Space)的船长和主席,在那里他教育和培训数以百计的初创企业创始人以及大企业的高层管理人员来如何进行创新。


霍夫曼在他的生活中始终不断地在进行着创新,他曾经从事过非常多的不同职业,这其中包括了:连续创业者、风险投资人、天使投资人、移动工作室负责人、计算机工程师、电影制片人、好莱坞电视剧执行人、出版作家、程序员、游戏设计师、日本漫画改编人、动画设计师以及配音演员。


当他还是个孩子的时候,霍夫曼就梦想要拍摄电影和制作游戏。当他高中毕业的时候他已经创作了50多部短片并设计了80款游戏。追寻他自己内心的冲动,他在加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校(UC Santa Barbara)获得了计算机工程的学士学位,然后又在南加利福尼亚大学(USC)获得了电影电视的硕士学位。


他在好莱坞的第一份工作是阅读电视脚本,但他很快就被提升为开发主管。之后他以游戏设计师的身份前往日本并加入了世嘉株式会社(SEGA),在那里他的团队与迈克尔·杰克逊合作一起制作了一部互动式电影。


回到硅谷后,霍夫曼创立了LavaMind,这家公司制作了数十款不同的在线和移动游戏,并为迪斯尼、高通、英特尔、大都会人寿保险公司(MetLife)以及芝麻街工作室(Sesame Workshop)设计了数字产品。


在这之后他创立了Spiderdance,这是他的第二家创业公司。这家公司为MTV、美国全国广播公司(NBC)、华纳兄弟公司、日本TBS电视台、索尼以及艺术&娱乐网络(A&E)制作了互动电视节目。在这同时,霍夫曼还帮助成立了互动电视媒体集团学会(Academy of Television’s Interactive Media Group)以及制片人协会新媒体理事会(Producers Guild New Media Council.)。


在撰写了一本关于游戏设计的书之后,霍夫曼加入了Infospace,成为了他们的北美工作室负责人,负责运营美国的移动游戏。接着霍夫曼又与他人一起共同创立了三家获得了风险融资的创业公司,这三家公司的业务都主要集中在媒体、游戏以及娱乐行业。


今天霍夫曼领导着创始人空间与创业者、企业高级管理人、以及投资人在22个国家开展着将影响这个世界的各种创新。
