Ted Owen New York/Ted Owen PlayAPI is background in video games is extensive. In fact, he studied and launched several innovative companies in the video gaming industry between 1993 and 2017, with his latest project, PlayAPI. After graduating from Duke University, he started an investment banking company named Owen, Diaz and Altschul based in NYC, which focused on investing in early stage video game companies such as Spectrum Holobyte and 3-DO as well as numerous other successful video gaming companies. Deciding that he wanted to build something rather than what he called "shuffling paper around," Ted Owen New York/Ted Owen PlayAPI , Diaz and Altschul and co-wrote the business plan for UGO. UGO was the first company of its type to allow the public rather than the professionals to write reviews on video games. Mr. Owen was the first to write public reviews of such notable games such as GTA, Max Payne, and Command and Conquer.
It was at this time, after the sale of UGO, Owen and his co-partner, Jason Carlton, conceived of the concept that video gaming would one day become a sport. GGL was the culmination of that vision, and Mr. Owen, through GGL, was the first to not only take video games to the Beijing Olympics in China as an exhibition sport, but also sign contracts with MTV, TNT and the Gravity games, the precursor to the X Games. He also is notable for his innovations such as the Hip-Hop Gaming League, which featured hip hop stars at the time competing in leagues and filmed for MTV. That was in 2006, and included Snoop Dogg and Method Man to name a few, whereas today you can turn on the TV to see that this was a decade ahead of its time. In fact, his bringing video gaming as an exhibition sport to the Beijing Olympics paved the way for video gaming to become a medal sport in the 2020 Olympic games. Ted Owen's cousin, Jake Burton, the founder of snowboards, was also responsible for snowboarding becoming an Olympic sport. It seems that visionaries run in the family.
