Kudos to Bart Decrem who will become senior vice
president at Disney, in charge of all mobile games after they
bought Tapulous, the iPhone
game company he co-founded with Andrew Lacy. The
start-up, based in a storefront in Palo Alto, did not take
venture capital.
Because we were angel funded, we have been flexible and
have been forced to be scrappy. That has paid off nicely in
the middle of a recession. And with that comes a
capitalization table that is very friendly to investors and
the team.
Interview with Kara Swisher in 2009
Bart explained to Gamebeat
why he sold Tapulous to Disney.
Disney has music brands, Marvel Comics, Pixar, ABC, and
ESPN. They have great content and you will see a lot of
action around marrying great games, brands, and social
gaming mechanics. I use social to mean games that are
social.
A young man in Copenhagen walks up to a touch screen in a
department store. With his figure he clicks without emotion on
the display activating images of models wearing a high end
fashion brand. He can zoom in and out in viewing the models.
The models have no real expression. The images are disconnected
from their origin and are intended only to promote a brand, not
the nature of their manufacture or the circumstance of those
who assembled the clothes which are advertised.
We welcomed in the New Year with our very own Winter Classic of
pumpkin pancakes and Sumatra coffee inspired by last year's
Lucheonette performance (above) by Jeff Barnett
Winsby and Bowie Zunino.
