A fantastically creative and productive thing to do.
Stephen Carter

Senior Creative, Wieden + Kennedy
Dan Hon was CEO of Six to Start, an award winning entertainment production company founded with his brother, Adrian, in September 2007.
Six to Start's first project, We Tell Stories, for Penguin, was released in early 2008 to great critical and commercial acclaim and re-imagined how a publisher could adapt to producing fiction online. Six to Start invents and builds new kinds of entertainment that are designed, from the start, to live on multiple, connected platforms and counts among its clients and partners Disney, Fremantle, Channel 4, 4iP, BBC and the National Maritime Museum.
Prior to co-founding Six to Start, Dan was COO at the Accel Partners and Index Ventures backed start-up Mind Candy, where he worked on the award-winning alternate reality game Perplex City. He is a law graduate from Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge University, and has an MSc in Software Engineering from the University of Liverpool.
Dan has been cold turkey on World of Warcraft ever since Christmas, and his Horde Rogue has been sadly neglected. He has been blogging since 2000, is excited by Twitter for completely different reasons and is incredibly passionate about the potential for creating new kinds of media and entertainment.
