Dog Adoption App to help people in cities find their forever friend

CityPups is a startup adoption site that helps users in finding their new best friend. Adoption is not always as easy as you think. People have quite a few check boxes to mark off.

Game Communication App designed to bring people together

“Stop playing your damn games, you wont get anywhere doing that in life.” My dad told me growing up.

So how can we help these gamers connect with each other and grow together? All we need is some communication and some raging viral moments.
