Nebraska Entrepreneur recently attended a talk at the Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science and Management at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The speaker was Justin Hall and the topic focused on game development and the process of starting a company.
Hall started a product called PMOG, later changed to The Nethernet, which focused on making web browsing into a game format. His company started in July 2007 and ran until December 2009. In that time the company raised two rounds of funding, hired and de-hired 12 people and built a user base of around 130,000.
In this candid discussion Hall talks about the joys and tribulations of the startup and where things went wrong. Topics included games, mobile, the Internet, San Francisco, startups, scale and focus.
The Q&A session at the end of the presentation we felt had a lot of good information so we have included it here as well.
