About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words.
Digital, physical play.
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
From the CEO, Brian Monnin: "We've watched how addictive mobile
gaming has grown at the expense of fitness. Play Impossible is
the culmination of our dream to encourage kids to get off the
couch and be mentally and physically challenged by fusing
addicting mobile games with active play. Inspiration hit us
watching the blue light blank expressions on our kids' faces in
the basement bloom into wild-eyed grins and shrieks of laughter
when they ran across the backyard playing ball together. Mobile
technology should build bridges to movement, creativity, and
togetherness - and not result in ever-increasing solitary idle
time."
What makes your product special?
From the Chief Product Designer, Gadi Amit: "The ball is an
ageless object and the fun of playing with it doesn't need to be
reinvented. Instead, we're connecting it to today's mobile games
and mobile-first audience. Starting this company has been a way
for me to bring together the physical and digital to create pure
and simple joy."
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
Bringing experts in game design, technology, and industrial
engineering together to create something new. Our diverse team is
unified around a common purpose we hold dear to our hearts:
combining the best of digital with the best of physical. Also, we
have a magic ball company!
