From running Soulsplit (the most popular Runescape private server) as a teenager to navigating early pivots at Medal, Pim shares what sparked his entrepreneurial path, how Medal evolved from a game studio into a social content ecosystem, and what drove the platform’s explosive and enduring growth over the past several years.

The conversation also dives into how Medal continues to scale, adapt, and innovate. Pim opens up about founder lessons, moving with high velocity, the future of digital content, the role of M&A in Medal’s success, and what it’s now like running two companies. Whether you want to learn from an incredible founder or better understand the world of online gaming content, this is a wide-ranging conversation worth your time.
