Hello everyone, thank you for joining us.. My name is Daryl Urbanski - your host as always.. and today we are joined by a very special man.. A man who has been recognized with many awards for his accomplishments, Brian Wong.   You may know him or recognize his name from being:   One of Canada's “Top 20 Under 20” One of Business Insider's “Top 25 Under 25 in Silicon Valley,” One of Forbes' “30 under 30” for three years now One of Mashable's “Top 5 Entrepreneurs to Watch”   Plus being featured on other noteworthy lists such as   iMedia “25” AdAge “Creativity Top 50” The “30 Under 30 in Advertising” and “18 Most Important People in Mobile Advertising”.  His company has generated over $10million dollars while helping everyone around the table.. Himself, his investors, his employees, partners and of course, the end mobile users.. His company Kiip (pronounced “keep”) redefines how brands connect with consumers through a rewards platform that targets “achievement moments” in mobile games and apps. So your coupon or whatever, is offered as a reward once they beat a level or finish their 3-mile run. This is done with something Brian calls: “Moments-based marketing” as he believes, when it comes to mobile advertising, impressions & click-through rates are ‘stale' metrics'. This innovative approach to mobile marketing creates meaningful engagements between users, developers and advertisers. And he must be onto something as his company is thriving in an industry where the vast majority are not. His company Kiip has been recognized by Forbes as one of the “4 Hot Online Ad Companies to Put on Your Watch List,” plus the Dow Jones “FasTech50” and listed on Fast Company's “50 Most Innovative Companies.” And if as if that wasn't impressive enough, Brian received his Bachelor of Commerce from the University of British Columbia at age 18, after skipping four grades between kindergarten and graduating high school. He was also once the youngest person to ever receive venture capital funding. Today he's here to tell us about the future of mobile advertising and his ‘moments-based marketing' as well as answer questions to important challenges many of you listening might be facing.. Things from how to get financing in today's fundraising environment, how to build & scale a sales team.. or if you're just starting out, how to get your first customers and some monetization strategies… Brian, thank you for joining us today.. How're you doing my friend?   --- Mission Statement: My mission is to create 200 new multi-millionaire business owners who solve world problems with entrepreneurship. How? You'll do better when you know better.   Would it help you to have a mentor who can cut your learning curve by sharing their mistakes with you so you could avoid them? Would it help you to talk to that mentor and learn how they shifted their mindset to allow success to happen in the first place? Would it help you to hear them talk to other high-level entrepreneurs about their journeys, their mistakes and how they overcame their challenges to create the lives and financial success they desire? The Best Business Podcast was created for you to have all this in one place. If you like it, please subscribe, give an honest review and share with a friend you think will benefit so I may serve you both together.   "Your success is my success." -- Daryl Urbanski

Fun. If there is one truism across humankind, it is that we all love to have fun. Yes, if you can take a seemingly mundane activity, or even a potentially undesirable one, and turn it into game, the chances of people participating in that activity goes up dramatically.  While gamification may be the buzz word of the twenty teens, the simple act of getting people to do a certain behavior by turning it into a fun game has been around for ages.   Another common aspect of human psychology that generally applies across the board is that people love recognition. We love that pat on the back when we do a good job, that special treat for good behavior, the bonus at work for top performance, and that general feeling of achieving something and being rewarded for it.   A more modern day commonality shared by the now billions of technology users, is that in general, we hate to see ads. We hate to be interrupted while playing our favourite app or taking in our favourite digital content. We hate it so much, that we'll happily pay money to not have to see those ads. This presents an enormous conundrum for the online industry which has been largely funded by ad revenue, now has a major and growing user base that doesn't want to have to see ads.   Like any entrepreneur, Brian Wong, originally of Vancouver knew there had to be a better way. He combined these three insights to develop a brand new way to deliver ads that makes them fun, rewards people, and actually makes people want to see and participate in online ads.   I sat down with Brian at the BC Tech Summit in Vancouver to hear his fascinating tale.

A high school graduate at age 14, and a college graduate at age, 18, Brian Wong is now - at age 24 - one of the most savvy and intuitive entrepreneurs in America. His company, Kiip, is a rewards and loyalty platform geared towards customers on mobile devices, giving out over 11 rewards per second, and close to 500 million monthly "moments" - a term he and his team coined referencing engagement opportunities. A natural observer, Brian's professional and personal curiosity is rooted in cultural behavior, social psychology, and smart business thinking. On Innovation Crush, Brian discusses everything from how to nurture gifted children, to improving one's creative spark, to team leadership, and the globalization of rewards.

Joining us in the hotseat today is a young man who is insanely smart, he skipped 4 grades in school and graduated University at just 17, at which point he moved to the states on his own and within months was working alongside tech legends Kevin Rose and Jay Adelson at Digg. However, it was not long before he started his own company Kiip, a category-creating mobile rewards network that is redefining mobile advertising through an innovative platform that leverages "moments of achievement" in games and apps to simultaneously benefit users, developers and advertisers. If you have not guessed it by now, shame on you, it is of course, the incredible Brian Wong, one of the youngest people to ever raise VC funding receiving investment from the likes of Hummer Winblad, previous guest at Transmedia Capital Chris Redlitz (Episode 26), True Ventures and many more.

As a 19 year old, how difficult was it raising capital for your startup? Has it become harder raising further rounds from seed to series A to growth rounds? 5.) How have Brian's board of directors helped or hindered along the Kiip journey? How do experienced executives respond to working with such a young CEO and does age make it difficult to retain top talent? 6.) With the evolution of technology and progression of time, how are Kiip addressing the growing competitive market and how are you navigating Kiip into new social media channels?

In this episode we have the privilege of chatting with Kiip’s founder and CEO, Brian Wong. Kiip is a mobile advertising platform that matches digital ads with reward-based moments. Founded in 2010, this relatively young company is turning the advertising world upside down with its unique offering. Brian ventured down to Silicon Valley to start his career after graduating from the University of British Columbia, at the age of 18. That right, I said 18- the same age when many students are thinking about applying to University. Brian chats with us about growing up in Vancouver, life as an accelerated academic, and what it’s like being CEO of your own company, at the young age of 24.

Brian Wong is the co-founder and CEO of Kiip (pronounced keep), a category-creating mobile rewards network that is redefining mobile advertising through an innovative platform that leverages moments of achievement in games and apps to simultaneously benefit users, developers and advertisers. Backed by Hummer Winblad, Relay Ventures, True Ventures, Digital Garage and others, the company has raised $15.4 million in funding to date. 

Brian Wong tops Forbes’ List of 30 Under 30 in Advertising. At 23, he’s the co-founder and CEO of Kiip a company providing marketers with opportunities to delight potential customers rather than assault them with ads. Brian and I spent time together at the end of a long week in which he oversaw a hackathon to integrate Kiip technology into the latest wearable. Brian is the bleeding edge of our industry and he shared his history, his advice to entrepreneurs and issued a bold challenge to digital marketers.

Brian Wong is the 23 year old Canadian who co-founded and is now CEO of Kiip. Brian shares what he realized while walking the aisle of a plane four years ago that turned into him starting Kiip and landed him on the cover of entrepreneur magazine.  Brian had an amazing message and he delivered it just like a marketer should. He told a bunch of fun stories. Get ready for another ten minutes of incredible value from a leader in our industry.

Brian Wong is the co-founder and CEO of Kiip (pronounced “keep”), a  mobile rewards network that delivers rewards for achievements in apps and games. Named one of the world’s 50 Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company. After skipping four K-12 grades, Brian received his Bachelor of Commerce from the University of British Columbia at age 18, and shortly after became one of the youngest people to ever receive venture capital funding.  He has been recognized with many awards for his accomplishments and leadership, including: Forbes’ 30 Under 30 in 2011, 2012 and 2013; Business Insider’s Top 25 Under 25 in Silicon Valley, 30 Under 30 in Advertising and 18 Most Important People in Mobile Advertising; Mashable’s Top 5 Entrepreneurs to Watch; and AdAge’s Creativity Top 50.

There are a lot of baby-faced CEOs in the tech sector. But how can someone who's never had a job be a great boss? We bring you three (and a half) personal stories about running companies at extremely young ages, or working for a 24 year-old boss—including the ego wrangling that comes with this flipped age dynamic. There comes a point when CEOs in their 20s have to hire employees in their 30s and 40s or older, especially for C-suite roles (even if the C-suite is starts out as a dumpy conference room). This week on New Tech City, you'll hear stories of young leaders learning to lead including Brian Wong, the 22-year-old head of Kiip, two founders that are even younger, and Arjun Dev Arora of Retargeter. Plus, what happens when an employee pushing 40 is asked to forgo her own hotel room and share a bed with her 24 year-old boss and coworker to save money. 

Kiip CEO and Co-Founder Brian Wong chats about why impressions aren't a good metric and how moments are what we should be paying close attention to.
