Elevator Pitch “Invented 10 new games to satisfy needs in the Stock Market”

Taking the old phrase “playing the stock market” and giving it a new meaning, StockGaming has created games for those interested in stocks and trading.

Combining an understanding of stock markets with gaming, gambling and social networking, StockGaming is not just another entry in the booming sector of gamification.

In assembling their team, the founders have sourced expertise from banks, lottery corporations, law firms and technology companies.

After conducting primary market research, StockGaming was founded and the startup began to create its games based upon their research. Their research has also concluded that while they have indirect competition, they have no direct competition, making them truly unique among startups.

As gaming and gambling continue to grow as profitable markets, this startup will no doubt prove to be a Bull among Bears.

Markets

With founders who are no strangers to the world of investment, StockGaming will be active in New York for Ignite Fundraiser’s Demo Day, being presented by PeopleConnect on September 4.
