Speaker Bio: Kieran O'Neill

Kieran founded the video sharing website HolyLemon.com when he was 15 (in 2003), which was acquired in April 2007 for $1.25m by the NASDAQ-listed company HandHeld Entertainment. At only 19 years old, Kieran was the sole owner of the company and amazingly handled both the negotiation and auction process between a number of different parties whilst undertaking his studies at the University of Bath’s Business School.

In the same year (2003) Kieran co-founded PlayStation Universe – one of the largest video games news and reviews site in the world (1m+ unique gamers reading the site each month). Kieran has taken investment from the largest ad sales firm in the US for the entertainment vertical and has landed some very high budget advertisement campaigns. Also in 2003, Kieran co-founded www.ps3forums.com which has experienced solid growth ever since – the site's forum is growing by 120,000 posts per month and has recently entered the top 1000 forums globally.
