Ask HN: Where are the engineers interested in gaming?
SkillAddiction (SA) is a skill gaming website that brings people together to connect and compete in casual games in tournament-style play for cash, virtual currency, and merchandise prizes. The website is a hybrid of a casual gaming portal, a social game, and a casino operator – it has the reward of a social game and the chance to win playing casual games, without any gambling. We have hosted over 1 million skill gaming tournaments and players have won over $400,000 in cash and prizes.
We are currently in the YetiZen gaming accelerator (comparable to Ycombinator) and looking to bring on a third team member (technical).
- We are live, http://www.skilladdiction.com
- We have revenue and customers - a couple thousand of them
- Customers love us. Last week a returning visitor spent 160 minutes at our site and a new user 28 minutes. People will be using the stuff you build, a lot
- You are not alone. The current application didn’t appear from nowhere. One of us is a hacker/hustler (more hustler) but knows the world of PHP, MySQL, CSS, HTML, Javascript, and other technologies
Compensation includes salary and equity.
Get in touch and let's see if there could be a fit - myprofilename@skilladdiction.com
