Brian Wong is a 19 year-old graduate from UBC and he has recently started his second company startup. "Kiip" offers real rewards for people who reach milestones in games on mobile devices. When players reach certain milestones, it’s a "buzz kill" because the reward is just a banner ad. Kiip aims to fill the void by handing out rewards, with the value tied to the caliber of the achievement. Rewards range from gift certificates for flowers, to vitamin water, to a Sony tablet. The rewards are only available to players in the United States for now, but Canada will soon follow.
The success of young entrepreneurs is rapidly increasing in technology based industries due to the fact that this industry is developing at such a fast rate, and the younger generation is more comfortable with this era. Another reason is that younger people are being exposed to this technology faster and faster.
