History[]

Before founding Roblox, Baszucki founded the now-defunct company Knowledge Revolution with his brother Greg. There, Baszucki helped create a physics simulator called Interactive Physics, which later sold millions of copies and of which Roblox was inspired from.

After Knowledge Revolution was bought by MSC Software for 19 million dollars, he became the Vice President and General Manager of MSC Software, where he was in charge of the desktop simulation division. After three years in this position, Baszucki left MSC Software and then went on to develop Roblox, along with co-founder Erik Cassel, who also held a senior position in the company.

In 2021 Baszucki founded the Baszucki Group, a philanthropic group investing in organizations working in various initiatives such as mental health and democracy.
