Riding Unicorns with Dylan Collins, Founder @ SuperAwesome (acq. Epic Games)

In this episode of Riding Unicorns, we’re joined by legendary repeat founder Dylan Collins, known for building and exiting three companies—including SuperAwesome, acquired by Epic Games.

Dylan takes us on a fascinating journey from founding middleware for Call of Duty at university, to building tools that made the internet safer for kids, and now backing the next generation of Gen Z and Gen Alpha startups through his investment company, LFG Holdings.

We dive deep into: 

🎮 The early days of multiplayer gaming infrastructure
📱 Building SuperAwesome and why kids’ digital safety became his mission
⚡️ Emotional fuel: why desperation and revenge can drive great founders
🧠 Survivorship bias and staying sharp as a repeat entrepreneur
📈 Why most VCs still don’t understand M&A—and why that’s about to change
💸 How the next wave of liquidity will be unlocked in venture
🌍 Why today’s 20-year-olds live in a completely different world from 30-year-olds
🧪 His bullish take on agent middleware and the future of AI-powered interfaces

This episode is a masterclass in longevity, startup psychology, and identifying generational shifts before anyone else. Dylan brings humour, honesty, and razor-sharp insight throughout.
