About two and a half years ago, I launched GamerDNA with the vision of creating a new type of gaming media company based on community, social participation and real-time gameplay data.
During the time we’ve started, we successfully launched gamerDNA.com, a social platform for sharing real-time gameplay from your Xbox, Playstation or PC; launched a revenue-generating ad network for the game market which reaches over 10 million monthly visitors, and worked with over a hundred game websites. We did it all with a very small team of some of the most capable technology and media professionals I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with.
After looking at all the options available to us, we decided it didn’t make sense for us to “go it alone” in the market any longer. Yesterday we merged with Crispy Gamer, which has very ambitious plans to build a media company around the gaming market.
I’ll help out Chris Heldman (the CEO of Crispy Gamer) for a little bit to make sure things go smoothly–but I’m an entrepreneur, and I’ll start something new in 2010. People have asked me what it will be, but the reality is that I don’t know yet. I have interests in social networking, the real-time Internet, online entertainment, games–so whatever I do will probably be in one of those areas (or an intersection thereof). In the meantime, I’m mentoring and advising a few cool startups and larger companies in the areas that interest me.
Watch this space for more news soon.
