#142 Andrew Sorokovsky | Growing a $3.5B Web 3 Gaming Company

In this episode of the Stonks Go Moon podcast, Andrew Sorokovsky, VP of Business Development at Immutable, shares his unique journey from Uber Eats to Web3 gaming, offering insights into career transitions and the rapid rise of blockchain gaming. Andrew’s career path exemplifies non-linear growth. He started in SaaS with Hootsuite before moving to Uber Eats in Australia. During his time in Australia, he became deeply interested in crypto, which eventually led him to Immutable. He explains that growing up in an immigrant household gave him a pragmatic perspective on life and business. This experience, he believes, instilled in him a sense of being an outsider, which fueled his adaptability and drive. He credits this mindset for helping him navigate the challenges of breaking into crypto and leading business development at Immutable. He emphasizes the importance of understanding customer needs and delivering practical solutions over hype-driven ideas. This approach, combined with his experience at Uber, where high achievement and quick adaptation were valued, has helped him build one of the best business development teams in Web3. Andrew also touched on Australia’s surprising role in the crypto space and explained how Immutable aims to enhance gameplay through ownership-driven elements without sacrificing the core narrative experience that makes games engaging. For him, the future of Web3 gaming hinges on creating compelling, fun experiences rather than solely focusing on the technological advancements of blockchain. https://x.com/soro https://x.com/Immutable
