Scotland’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2025

We are proud to announce that the Founder of Theria, Charlie Greener, has been named Scotland’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year at the UK StartUp Awards. This regional win marks a significant milestone in Theria’s journey as a fast-growing force in the mobile gaming industry.

Founded just two years ago, Theria has quickly established itself as a trusted hub for mobile gamers – offering in-depth guides, tools, and community resources for nearly one million monthly users. The platform’s success has been built on a clear mission: to save players time and money while enhancing their in-game experience.

National Recognition for a Growing Startup

Theria was selected from a competitive field of innovative Scottish businesses, spanning industries from fintech to events and education. Judges recognised Theria’s growth, profitability, and potential to scale, highlighting the strength of its bootstrapped model and engaged user base.

The award falls under the “Young Entrepreneurial Business” category, which celebrates early-stage ventures led by under-30 founders making significant impact in their sectors.

What This Means for Theria

This recognition reflects more than just startup success – it affirms the value Theria delivers to its community and the commercial potential of its model. In the past 6 months alone:

• Monthly users have more than doubled
• The site expanded into 30+ new games
• Team has massively expanded

Looking Ahead to the UK Final

Theria now moves on to the UK national final, taking place at Ideas Fest in September 2025. All regional winners from across the country will compete for the national titles at what’s often described as “Glastonbury for entrepreneurs.”

The team will be attending the final to share more about Theria’s vision, meet fellow founders, and showcase upcoming developments, including new SaaS tools for gamers, expanded wiki coverage, and enhanced personalization features.

A Word from the Founder

Founder Charlie Greener commented:

“This is a huge moment for Theria. The team has worked hard to build something meaningful for the gaming community, and it’s exciting to see that effort recognised on a national stage. We’re just getting started.”

Stay Tuned

Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing updates from behind the scenes as we prepare for the UK finals. From new features to community initiatives, the momentum from this award will help power the next stage of growth.

Theria is proud to represent Scotland – and the gaming community – at the national finals.
