Full cycle startup in SoCal. Dreamed of a platform in '00 and built a mobile casual sports gaming product later that was in major stadiums and with major sports teams when mobile was not even a buzzword ('06). Patented the tech in '01, bootstrapped it in '06'-07 with friends money, hacked code, designed UX/UI, closed deals with major national brands, raised $1.2M from Angels in early '08, hired an awesome team, laid off :( most of an awesome team (hurt), negotiated licensing deals, managed to get us in the first 7 launch partners for Google Open Social, negotiated sale, turned vc's down, lived almost 2 years past the 2008 bust, partnerships, TV promos, Radio promos, offices, HR, etc.
