S2E16: Golden Touch | Ben Goldhaber (CEO, Juked.GG)

Ben Goldhaber is the Founder and CEO of Juked.gg, a platform for esports and gaming fans to discover and engage with the best events and content from across the global esports community.

Before Juked, Ben pursued his childhood passion for online gaming by accepting an offer to work at Twitch where he was a founding team member.

Twitch is the global leader in video game live streaming with over 100 million peak visitors that was acquired by Amazon in 2014 for nearly $1 billion. After spending nearly a decade at Twitch, he saw a problem in the online gaming community that needed to be addressed – toxic online behavior from users.

His mission with Juked is to contribute to a rapidly growing and thriving esports and gaming community while providing access to the most amazing content and experiences for users while providing an environment free of toxic behavior and commentary.

Loved gaming
Childhood dream
Gave up convention job
Worked at twitch
There for ~10 years
Company grew to 1000+ ppl; became corporate
Toxic behavior was not a priority to solve
Had good exit + financial stability
Left to start juked
Content + good environment + community / people
Long term - help contribute to community
Eposts and gaming are growing, still early days

Ben knew creating a healthier online social environment alone wasn’t enough so he aimed at content + engagement similar to combining Reddit & ESPN + a social platform all in one.

Please enjoy this episode & hope you learn more about the creator economy.
