I read somewhere a while back that Paul Preece quit his programming job, got seed funding and then started Kongregate. I can’t seem to locate it now, so I could be mistaken, but Have always thought Kongregate was his company.

Either way, after looking into it, it does look like Paul Preece is not doing this by himself. He has a partner Dave (i can’t seem to find his last name).

Good luck with the new venture. Try not to create something so addictive next time. ;-)
