UBC graduate, Brian Wong who is only 19 years old is already on his way to start up his second company called Kiip. He has received 4 million dollars in financing to fuel a new ad model that gives mobile game players real rewards ranging from vitamin drinks to a $100 Sony tablet. This is offered to players who reach milestones in games on their smartphones and other mobile devices. This business idea is only offered to players in the United States but soon after, he promised it will be moved into Canada.
I am astonished that Brian Wong at 19 year old is making such a big accomplishment in his life. A 19 year old graduating from University already is a great shocker. His idea would probably widely attract customers because people play games on either their iphones or blackberries daily. If they were already to play so many mobile games, they might as well give the games that Brian Wong offers prizes for a try. Mobile devices/smartphones are so common now that people would catch on the trend very quickly.
I think Brian Wong succeeded at such a young age in the field of technology has a great reason to do with the generation that he was raised in. For our generation, we have access to all the technology that other people never had before from generations before. At his age, he combined his own personal ideas and untilized it properly into something that can make big money. Mark Zuckerberg at a very young age as well, created Facebook, something everyone possesses nowadays.
