Ruud van der Linden

Ruud van der Linden is an award-winning entrepreneur with extensive experience spanning over two decades in the video technology sector. He is the founder and CEO of LONT, a pioneering company that offers an online platform capable of generating controlled GenAI videos in bulk. This platform distinguishes itself by allowing precise, template-based scene creation within a user-friendly interface, setting it apart from typical GenAI services.

Prior to establishing LONT, Ruud worked as a freelancer, collaborating with museums and cultural institutions to develop interactive exhibits and co-create the Netherlands' first hour-long interactive movie. His entrepreneurial journey includes founding StreamOne, where he personally developed the initial version of the platform. StreamOne's solid technology and team led to its acquisition by 24i / Aferian (LSE:AFRN) in 2019.
