About

Corey is the co-founder and CEO of Mirai Labs, a technology and gaming company that became well-known in the gaming community with the release of their first game, Pegaxy, in 2021. Mirai Labs had great success with the game, with over 500K users and $200 million of in-game assets traded natively. To date, Pegaxy is one of the earliest and largest games to launch on Polygon. In addition to his work at Mirai Labs, Corey is also the co-founder of TacToys, one of Australia's largest toy gun stores. From 2019 to 2021, TacToys was able to grow to $15 million in yearly revenue through bootstrapping efforts, making it one of the fastest-growing ecommerce stores in Australia. Prior to founding TacToys, Corey founded Help Desk, a customer support service for web3 start-ups. Both companies are still operating today, and Mirai Labs brings together his interests in gaming and web3.
