Greg Pallis, founder and lead programmer, graduated from Wadham College in 2005 with first class honours. Five years of teaching led to the product that became PlayBrighter, and enabled him to research the market.

In June 2011 Greg left his teaching job to dedicate his full time to PlayBrighter. Greg's experience of the early reception of the PlayBrighter product has left him confident of its success and he has invested £40,000 in the company.
