Chamara Peiris

I'm Chamara, Head of Startup Ecosystem at Launchpad and Founder and CEO of Leeg, a digital games platform. I help early-stage founders grow, fund, and scale. I have held CTO, director of marketing, COO, and co-founder roles in startups in the last 14 years, and I mentor at Founder Institute and Ignyte UAE. I was awarded the Best Supportive Mentor in South and Southeast Asia at Global Mentor Awards in 2022. I write and speak about startups, gamification, user engagement, and entrepreneurship.

And my hot take is games are the best user acquisition tool startups ignore until it is too late.
