GameRise was founded in 2022 by Josh Konyn, a recent college grad and IT professional working in schools around Columbus. Our company started as his passion project, born off the success of a collegiate esports program he founded during his undergraduate studies at Capital University.
Made up of a close-knit team experienced in skillsets from programming and IT to graphic design to education, GameRise combines efficiency with first-hand knowledge to provide fast, individualized service at a low cost. Our mission is enrich the lives of students and school staff with turnkey, innovative classroom and co-curricular solutions using today's best audiovisual technology - gaming.
Our origins lie in collegiate programming. In the span of two years, the Capital University Esports League became the largest recreational organization on campus.
It has served as so much more than just a fun club. Students have leveraged their direct experiences in the organization to pursue careers in marketing, broadcasting, music production, and other STEM careers.
