With more than two decades of experience working with startups in Silicon Valley, Gary Schofield has led and turned-around several companies to achieve successful exits, including mobile banking company Mobile Money Ventures, which was sold to Intuit Inc., as well as mobile advertising company Amobee Media, which was sold to Singtel for $321 million. Currently, Gary Schofield is the CEO and founder of Ravel Labs.
Previously known as UnRavel, Ravel Labs has created a mobile social-trivia game to help people get to know their friends and the people around them better. For a generation that tends to work long hours, spend a lot of time on their phones, and struggle to connect with people socially, the Ravel Labs app creates a fun opportunity to connect without the difficulty and pressure of some of the online dating apps that are currently on the market.
A player can create a profile with up to 30 levels. The levels contain photos that can be unlocked by guessing the correct answers to questions the player chooses. Then players can explore other users’ profiles, trying to guess their answers to learn more about them and see more photos. When two users “unravel” each other, they can chat within the app in real time.
