Keith Lee - CEO and Co-Founder. Seth PriebatschChief Ninja/CEO. SCVNGR is a game. And playing is easy. Go places. Do challenges. Earn points! That’s the core of it, but there’s a whole lot more. SCVNGR is a game platform. SCVNGR is as much a game as it is a massive experiment in building a mobile game together. To make this happen, we’ve designed an incredibly powerful (and easy to use) platform that means that whether you’re an individual player, a local store, a museum, a historic monument, a restaurant or anything in between, you can participate in building SCVNGR with us. SCVNGR is the game layer on top of the world. And we want you to build it with us.

The more people that play (and build) SCVNGR with us, the better it gets. SCVNGR is constantly evolving. So stay in touch. Google is... well... if you're really not sure who they are, just Bing them. Highland is a wicked awesome VC firm based out of Lexington, MA (it's like Boston, but with a commute) with offices in Menlo Park, CA, Shanghai, and Geneva.
