Steven W. Pederson is an American software programmer and entrepreneur, best known for being one of the founders of software publisher Edu-Ware Services.
While attending UCLA in the late 1970's, he met Sherwin Steffin, who was faculty advisor to the campus radio station where Pederson hosted a program. When Steffin was laid off from the university in 1979, the two decided to start a software company named Edu-Ware Services. Pederson had previously taken a computer software course, and while he finished his degree, he wrote several programs for the new company, including the computer games Space and Terrorist, as well as the educational program Compu-Spell, using a high-resolution font of his own design.
Shortly after selling the company to Management Sciences America in 1983, Pederson left Edu-Ware to start a new venture.
