I officially formed the company 6 months before and after raising $25k from family I was able to hire a development company based in India to build out an MVP for iOS and Android. We released the MVP right on time at TwitchCon and were able to show off our app to thousands of gamers. The best thing about launching at TwitchCon is that we were able to validate the hypothesis, gamers playing all genres indeed find it hard to find the right people to play with and a lot of them don't even touch new games unless they have they friends already playing it
