Developing, Inspiring and Leading Young Entrepreneurs

Interview with young entrepreneur Justin Beck

Justin Beck works for a startup created by a group of ambitious college students from University of Wisconsin Madison called PerBlue, where and he is building some really interesting technologies and products while having too much fun doing it. PerBlue focus on building mobile software. Their first product is Parallel Kingdom a mobile role playing game for the iPhone and Google Android phone. They continued to progress into mobile people connecting technology and they were working on a smartphone application for connecting people called GeoBuzz, when they realized that connecting people was a very difficult task. After working on geobuzz for almost 9 months they decided to scrap the smart phone client and build Operator Sue which uses a text messaging interface. Its really simple to use, and it just works like you'd expect it to.

Cristian: I had a look at some articles about you, and I found out you have invented a lot of new technologies, gadgets and software. So do you consider yourself an inventor or an entrepreneur?

2007beck_justinJustin: I would say probably on a day to day basis I consider myself more an entrepreneur more then an inventor. I never really bonded with the word “inventor” I think everyone is an inventor in their creative outlet. But true entrepreneurs those are rare. I don’t even know if I deserve that title yet.
