About
Joachim Ante wrote the core of the Unity engine as a teenager, and that code went on to power more than half of the top thousand mobile, PC and console games — Pokémon Go, Among Us, Overcooked among them. He was a high-school student in Berlin in 2002 when he answered Nicholas Francis's forum post asking for help on a shader compiler for Mac developers; two years later the three of them founded Unity in Copenhagen, and he served as chief technology officer for roughly nineteen years, through the 2020 New York listing that valued the company at $13.7 billion. He stepped back from the role in 2023. In 2024 he co-founded Underground Ventures, a $40 million fund he anchors alone, backing fossil-free geothermal drilling and reservoir technology across the United States and Europe, and he directs philanthropy toward environmental work through Founders Pledge.
