Greylock general partner David Thacker talks with Eden Chen, the CEO and co-founder of backend game engine platform Pragma. As live service gaming has become a massive industry, powering that ecosystem has become increasingly complex. Like every other technology sector, there are too few software developers around to keep up with the demands of constant game development and iteration. Pragma was built to relieve that bottleneck. Along the way, the company aims to help developers focus more on the creative aspects of games that can make them a force for good.

08/06/2021 – Eden Chen –Co-founder of Fisherman Labs, on how God has worked in his life, from how he came to faith to where he lives.
Eden Chen spoke at The Gospel Coalition’s first west coast conference in Fullerton, California, October of 2018, on the topic of faith and work. He focused on three practical topics for church leaders seeking to engage their people on the subject—calling, excellence, and evangelism.Chen addressed the role of the church in developing each of those aspects of engaging faith in the workplace and how Christians can utilize the workspace as an incredible opportunity for both excellence and evangelism. This episode of The Gospel Coalition podcast is sponsored by The Good Book Company, publisher of 'Wherever You Go, I Want You To Know,' a new beautifully illustrated kids book by Melissa Kruger, where she helps parents say to their children, “whatever you do, wherever you start, I pray you love Jesus, with all of your heart.” Learn more at thegoodbook.com.

Eden Chen thinks Christians should take more risks. After navigating his own vocational journey, from processing a call to the pastorate to now launching multiple ventures in the LA-area, he's determined to help Christians find solace in the sovereignty of God. In this episode of the CFWLA Podcast, Chen shares a bit of his own story, makes a plea for Christians to lean into the messiness of risk, and speaks to what he's learned about faith in his work as an entrepreneur. BIO Eden Chen is founder of Fishermen Labs and Common Foods, and investor at CE Capital and CE Foundation. He has been featured on the Forbes “30 Under 30” list and resides in Los Angeles. QUOTABLE On Living Distinctly in the Workplace: (25:18-26:12) “If you just do good work and you're successful then you're still no different than everyone else. Everyone wants to do good work and be successful. So you have the protestant work ethic, but there's still no distinctive. Some of the guys that are non-Christian entrepreneurs that I work with work more excellently than Christians, and it would be a sin for Christians to work that hard. There's a level of limits where Christians cannot get to that level of work ethic. So you're not going to win people to Christ by just being excellent. Because someone will always be more excellent than you.” On Handling Success and Failure as an Entrepreneur: (37:13-37:49) “Especially when you find success, that's when it's really dangerous. Because then you're like, ‘Look at what I've built, and look at what I've done.' If you're an entrepreneur and you fail, then you probably have to go to the Lord. But if you're successful, you don't go to the Lord unless you are very intentional.” On Risk Taking and the Parable of the Talents: (39:30-40:10) “For the people that have more abilities, there's more that's required of them. With blessing comes responsibility. But it's the opposite that I typically see.”
