Ideas so big they fit on a napkin. In this six-part video podcast series, get to know more of Australia's bravest startup founders as they sit down and retrace their startup journey with our host, journalist, mathematician, and comedian Adam Spencer, to discuss the idea that they've ultimately grown into a high-velocity business.

Over a few drinks at a classic Australian pub, our founders recount their origin stories by drawing out their startup idea on a cocktail napkin, illustrating the adventures, mistakes, and milestones along the way that have helped them ultimately achieve success and prove what's possible with AWS.

Not all startups are built to solve major problems for customers – sometimes they simply want to help people have fun. On this episode, founder Kieran Warwick discusses the idea behind Illuvium, the maker of an open-world sci-fi adventure game where players can capture and train characters and then take them into battle.

What sets Illuvium apart from earlier generations of games is its use of the Ethereum blockchain as an underpinning technology to enabled trusted commerce. This gives players a secure and immutable method of owning their characters as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), meaning they can trade characters and purchase other assets within the game environment.
