Key Executives Depart Build a Rocket Boy Ahead of MindsEye Launch

Alright, so here’s the scoop on what’s been going down at Build a Rocket Boy. They’ve been gearing up for the big unveiling of their first game, MindsEye. But—plot twist—they just lost two top brass folks. Like, kind of important ones.

First off, Riley Graebner, who’s got one of those titles that sounds super important: chief legal officer. Caught this update on LinkedIn—thank goodness for endless scrolling there. Anyway, he’s pumped about what they’ve done. Three and a half years, doubled the team. They’ve got over 450 people now. That’s like a… mini-army, right? Legal stuff—built from scratch, automated some things. Cool, cool. Then he goes all “mysterious mode” saying something new is in the works but won’t spill the beans. Classic move, Riley.

Oh, and let’s not forget Paul Bland, the chief financial guy. Also out. He wasn’t there quite as long, two years or so, but still. His exit is right before MindsEye is supposed to make its grand entrance. Timing, huh?

Then there’s this juicy tidbit about co-CEO Mark Gerhard claiming someone’s out there trash-talking the project—and getting paid for it. No proof or anything. Just out there in the wild. Makes you wonder who’s stirring the pot. But who knows? People love a good conspiracy, I guess.
