This startup is a side-project that emerged as a mobile gaming (Android) winner at the MEGA Startup Weekend event featuring 300 contestants and hosted at Microsoft's campus in Mountain View, CA. Four of us (two developers, a designer and a business analyst) formed a team on the spot, pitched a startup idea, and produced a prototype in 54 hours. We won the gaming vertical and further participated at DEMO, an industry established startup incubator. We went on to connect a Cloud back-end and do our own usability studies. Pictures can be found here: http://mega.startupweekend.org/2012/04/24/guy-morita/ . Working on weekends to learn Android and help bring this game to Google Play store.
