Trey Smith is the Founder and former CEO of Buildbox, a pioneering no-code game development platform that empowers anyone to create professional video games without writing a single line of code.
Trey attended Valdosta State University and built his entrepreneurial roots through Kayabit Games, a mobile game studio he founded in 2010 that amassed over 100 million downloads.
A self-taught game developer and Silicon Valley entrepreneur, Trey has trained over 10,000 students and authored books on game development and no-code software, selling 29,000+ copies.
Trey founded Buildbox in 2015, grew it into the leading no-code game engine used to create viral hits like Color Switch, and successfully sold it to AppOnboard in 2019, where he then served as Chief Product Officer.
Under Trey's leadership, Buildbox-powered games surpassed 100 million downloads, and the platform raised over $20M in funding; post-exit, Trey went on to co-found Autofunnel.ai and Mech.com, continuing his mission at the intersection of AI and entrepreneurship.
