Akoha launches superbly at Techcrunch50

By Heri Sep 10th 2008 in Business, Mobile

Austin Hill presented today at Techcrunch50 Akoha, a social gaming service for people who want to play it forward.

He handled superbly the presentation, with a mix between personal stories, the demo, and also introducing the cards. The presentation was received very positively by the judging panel; and when they asked for details, Austin Hill told about upcoming new features, showing the project’s maturity, and also showing clearly that this is just the beginning, with much more exciting features to come. Alex Eberts and Austin Hill also distributed kindly schwag to attendees plus decks of cards.

Seeing this presentation, I think it’s fair to say that Akoha deserve all the buzz… Stay tuned, a review shall come up very soon.

Hi Heri,

I know you’ve been wanting to tell people about Akoha this time. Imagine how hard it’s been for us to keep it a secret. We love Akoha so much!

Now that we can talk about it, we’d love to have people join and help us improve the site. We have a lot of plans for the future, but we also want to listen to our players to make this the best game we can.

Have fun playing it forward!
Simon

The Q&A period was even stronger than the demo. In my mind, this is where things really happen. Not just for TC50 itself, but in terms of getting the “drift-off moment” of imagining possibilities.
