Company
Kirkland North
Campus-wide virtual battle game
We are building Turf, an online game that pits sections of a university campus against each other in a virtual battle for campus domination. It's a multiplayer game that encourages students to compete and engage with their university community through the platform. We run customized versions for different schools including Stanford and Harvard.
We live in San Francisco, CA and the company will be based here after YC.
San Francisco is where we're currently located and it's where the tech and startup community we want to work with is centered. Remaining here after YC keeps us close to key partners and opportunities.
