Michael Acton Smith Biography

The creative businessman Michael Acton Smith launched a number of technology-based ventures, including the enormously successful meditation space firm Calm. To help people go asleep and stay tranquil, Calm produces meditation items including a book, narrated Sleep Stories, and health and meditation videos. Prior to founding Calm, Smith founded Mind Candy and was the mind behind Moshi Monsters, a kid-friendly online community with 80 million registered users that later branched out into books, toys, games, magazines, music, and movies. In addition, he is the co-founder and CEO of Firebox, an online retailer of novelty goods founded in 1998. Nearly six years later, Firebox was ranked as the 13th fastest growing privately-owned company in the UK on The Sunday Times Fast Track 100 list. After Firebox achieved enormous popularity, he founded the equally eccentric firm Mind Candy, which has since risen to become one of the top producers of social multiplayer games in the world. Since its April 2008 introduction, Moshi Monsters, the company's primary product, has seen fast growth and currently claims sign-up numbers in the tens of millions. Smith was given an OBE in 2014 for his services to the creative industries, and he is frequently requested to share his success stories with the business sector through entertaining, enthused, and potent lectures. Later, he was chosen to serve on the Cool Brands Council, which annually votes on the top 500 Cool Brands in the UK.
