Lauren Elliott is an American video game designer, internet entrepreneur, publisher and inventor.
In 1983, Elliott walked into Broderbund Software in San Rafael, California, with a sketchpad full of game designs and was hired on the provision that he could convince a programmer to take on one of his designs.
He now has over 30 million copies of his work in circulation and is a winner of over 50 awards in originality and lifetime sales categories.
While at Broderbund, Elliott and Gene Portwood were Will Wright's project managers on his first video game, Raid on Bungeling Bay, in 1984.
In 2002, Elliott formed Dream Zero, an internet gaming company, later acquired by The Big Network.
