Today will be my last day at Zynga, as I’ll be leaving to embark on a new adventure. I’ll be starting a new company with my good friend Ben Bloch (Foodspotting)

The last year and few months at Zynga have served as a tremendous learning experience. The gratification of writing, and architecting code that is served to millions of people everyday is tremendous and I will forever be grateful to everyone at Zynga that enabled me to thrive in such an environment. As bitter-sweet, and difficult as it is, the time has come for me to leave Zynga, and build my own product. We have some excellent people on our side and are ready to jump in and execute.

It’s very clear that social, mobile location based applications are on the rise right now, and building a solution to a problem in that space is what we intend to do. What we are going to make is a dead simple social utility for organizing and participating in spontaneous events. It could be gathering friends for Sunday brunch, or organizing a nice bike ride along the Embarcadero. The point is that we are going to facilitate these types of gatherings, and solve a lot of inherent group communication problems. Of course this is only the foundation, and many more avenues will be explored once this basic system is in place and proven.

I am very excited, and passionate about getting to work on our product full time. Now that it has our full attention we will be able to put the best effort forward in quickly releasing a kick ass product and building out our company’s vision. Expect updates and announcements in the next coming months, including the name of our company and a better idea of when we will release our private alpha.

If you are interested in working with us, or being part of the private alpha, you can hit me up on twitter or email me for more information.
