Robert Sugar's biography

Hello, my name is Robert Sugar, I am a software entrepreneur, and have been starting companies since 1996, ranging from software companies, media companies, computer games and internet companies.

I was born in 1978, and grew up in Hungary. I graduated in physics/astronomy in 2001 at the Lorand Eotvos University (Budapest, Hungary). First software engineering was just my hobby and later it has become a full time profession.

My first development project was about artificial intelligence and graphical visualization for computer games back in 1996. I founded my own game developing studio in 2001- called Mithis - in the heart of Budapest the capital of Hungary. Until end of 2005 my studio completed four big titles which were distributed world-wide by well known publishers. The more and more difficult economic situation of Central-Eastern Europe pushed me to discontinue with further market development there.

I am currently living in the UK with my wife and our two wonderful daughters. My attention is fully focused on cutting edge technologies and nevertheless my family.

DINING TIP: if you want to go out for lunch or dinner with me then you have to know that I am vegetarian.
