Company Summary

We offer fun, quick, and easy competition for sports fans. Play with friends or manage your office pool. We offer a similar experience to fantasy sports - competition, test of knowledge, smacktalk. But we're taking a mobile-first approach with everything from UX/UI to the game itself. That's where we can offer the best value-added and where the competition falls short.

Team

  • Ben Peters
    Co-Founder

    I am a lawyer (NY & Cal Bar Member) with a passion for startups and tech. Passion probably doesn't go far enough in describing my relationship with sports. Pickmoto marries my skills and interests perfectly.

    James, Ryan, and I are friends from our undergrad days at UCLA ('05).

  • Ryan Gerard
    Co-Founder

    I’m 29, and have been programming and hacking since I was 14. I’ve had a love affair with tech my entire life.

    I started as employee #7 at Xobni, and helped the company grow from a much-lauded Outlook plugin, to some incredible server-side technology that now powers the Gmail, iPhone, and Android apps.

    Me in a nutshell: I love to hack, learn, read, and exercise. I’m married to an amazing woman. I like to build things with legos.

  • James Wildman
    Co-Founder

    My dad told me that work is long so find something I enjoy. That guided me to Design School after UCLA. And it counseled me to move 3000 miles for Pickmoto. The opportunity to combine two passions - design and sports - is a dream come true.

    When I’m not doing something design or sports-related, chances are I’m discussing, seeing, or making feeble attempts to play music. I have an encyclopedic knowledge of Dylan and the Beatles.
