  • Mindblown Life

    A mobile social game to eradicate financial illiteracy.

    Providing players a safe environment to make mistakes and learn how to keep money in their pockets.

About Mindblown Labs

Mindblown Labs (MBL) is an education technology company that creates highly-engaging, mobile social games to help teens and young adults develop financial literacy and other 21st century skills. Our mission is to utilize gaming principles to inspire learning anytime, anywhere. Our first game is focused on financial literacy. Financial illiteracy leads to poor life decisions and, ultimately, poor life outcomes.

Our team is passionate about building awesome games that are both addictive and educational. We are multi-disciplinary and have expertise in game development, informal learning, and personal finance.

Team

Jason Young

Jason started his first business when he was 9 and three others prior to college (including a tutoring company and travel agency). He was a part of the founding team of Wikinvest and worked in Finance at Merrill Lynch. He’s a master of saying ridiculous things. Jason graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Economics from Harvard University.

Keegan Stone

When Keegan joined Mindblown Labs, he had never done iOS development. Within a few days, however, he was killing it. Previously, Keegan was a solider in the U.S. Army and developed for Tall Chair, Inc. He's the strong silent type until he starts talking. He graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Game Development from the Art Institute of California.

Ty Moore

Ty was the Founding Executive Director of Leadership Scholars, a non-profit that provides mentoring, leadership training, and college access to hundreds of inner-city youth. Ty makes people laugh. He enjoys engaging with people and asking thought-provoking, yet disturbing questions. He graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Classics from Harvard University.

Trevin York

Trevin previously worked at Lucas Arts and spent the last summer teaching game design to middle schoolers. He was a lethal arts instructor for five years and has been known to throw HOUSE parties for bus loads (literally) of college freshmen AND charge admission. Trevin graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Game Design from the Art Institute of California.
