UBC grad, 19, launches second startup

Brian Wong is a 19 years old UBC graduate who is already on his 2nd company. He has reach to $4 million in financing a new ad model that gives rewards to mobile game players. His second venture called “Kiip” is about giving actual rewards such as vitamin drinks to a Sony tablet to mobile game players that reach to a high level in games. The main goal of this business is to make the game players to feel happy that they have achieved something. The companies that decided to support his business are 1-800 Flowers, Dr Pepper, and Sephora.

I think that Brian Wong is a really successful entrepreneur. I’m really shock that he’s already on his 2nd venture at the age of 19.  I really like his venture idea “Kiip”. It’s really creative and unique because the gamer would probably like an actual reward since they spend lots of time playing the game. This way they will even try harder to achieve the highest level and it won’t be a waste of time anymore because they get actual rewards for all this time spends into it.

Now a day most of us rely a lot on technologies such as computer. The market on technologies is getting larger and larger and it kept on improving. Entrepreneur should take advantage of this point and start their business related to technologies. One example is Mark Zuckerberg the one who invented Facebook.
