Jez San OBE, President and Founder, PKR

Jez San is one of the UK’s serial tech entrepreneurs. Having founded his first company, Argonaut, at age 16, Jez was responsible for hit release StarGlider, one of the first 3D games to hit the nascent video games market in the eighties. This passion for three dimensional graphics in videogames was and continues to be, Jez’s forte.

In the early 90’s Jez and the Argonaut team created the world’s first 3D graphics accelerator known as the SuperFX chip for Nintendo. Jez’s team was responsible for creating some of the first 3d computer games (StarGlider), the first 3d console games (StarFox)... the first 3d surround sound (King Arthur’s World), and the first 3d graphics chips (Super FX chip).

While playing poker at home in the early noughties with friends and online at paradise & partypoker, Jez dreamed of developing a more realistic poker game that had true-to-life qualities (in.. wait for it... 3d ;-)
