Thor Fridriksson, as Jordan calls him, is a mobile gaming guy. With mega viral games like Trivia Royale and QuizUp, he knows how to make a popular game, but the code he didn’t crack is how to make a super profitable game. Thor joined us at Found Live to talk about the pitfalls of mobile gaming advertising, why the gaming experience will always be his number one priority, and what he has in store for his next company, Rocky Road Inc.

Take part in our listener survey and let us know a little about yourself and what you think of FOUND.
