With over two decades in the tech, marketing, management, and sales fields, Gary Schofield has been at the helm of several startups and large companies, including Digital Chocolate, Mobile Money Ventures, and Amobee Media Systems, which he sold for $321 million. Currently, Gary Schofield is the CEO of tech startup UnRavel, a company he founded.
UnRavel is a social media app designed in part to address the millennial generation’s desire for connection within increasingly busy and tech-filled lives. Current popular apps for dating or meeting people are either too time-consuming or too disconnected, and UnRavel provides an alternative that’s fun and casual but adds a layer of depth. UnRavel provides a game-like platform on which participants use trivia questions about each other. This makes it easier to get to know friends better and quickly learn interesting facts about people the users might want to meet or date.
Users create a profile with a number of levels that each contain a different photo and a question about themselves. Matched users can see the question and guess the answer. If they get it right, the photo is revealed. When people are engaging with each other’s profiles, they can also chat within the app.
The startup is supported by top venture capital firms Redpoint and Benchmark.
