Wedge Buster is on a mission to bring sports gaming and fantasy sports to the forefront of social networks and mobile platforms. It is nearly impossible to scale a one-off game; and we are attacking the market by launching a robust gaming platform that aggregates the top sports, fantasy sports, and social sports games all within one app. We’ve taken the gaming mechanics that make social gaming great (leveling, achievements, multiple currencies, engagement loops / viral loops, etc.), and applied them to sports and fantasy games at the platform level.
We have assembled a rock-star team consisting of the industry’s greatest with experience from Liberty Media, Fox Audience, Fox Sports, Fun Technologies, Federated Media, Quick Hit, Fanball, Fast Point Games and Star TV. Wedge Buster has closed initial funding with a broad range of investors and formed an advisory board of leaders in sports media and social gaming.
