The Game Layer

Seth Priebatsch is a hypomanic entrepreneur.  His quest for evolution is a master work of personal innovation.  Seth is in pursuit of creating “The Game Layer” for the internet.  He believes that Facebook has already built the infrastructure for The Social Media layer.  Next is the game layer.

Regarding the funding of Seth’s company one of the funders said this:

“It went well, but there are still skeptics at the firm. Mr. Maeder of Highland still wonders whether Scvngr is the scaffolding of a major business. At the same time, he regards the $750,000 investment as a bet on Mr. Priebatsch as much as a bet on his company.”
