App/tech business of the week ~ QuizJam

What? ~ A world first, fun and exciting cloud-based multi-player trivia platform teams can use to educate, brands to connect, sports to engage and communities and NFPs to raise money.

QuizJam is for organisations seeking exciting, new ways to educate, engage, survey and improve the culture within their teams.

Where? ~ Available as an app from the Apple store or Google Play.

Who? ~ Gravy Gaming Pty Ltd, Joel Steel (CEO and co-founder), Glenn Morton (CTO and co-founder).

Quotation? ~ “Research shows that 70 per cent of all training delivered is forgotten the day after being undertaken, meaning that there’s a significant amount of work that needs to be addressed in regards to retention and the strategy around it,” Mr Steel said.

$/Market/News ~ The company has raised $900,000 in seed funding to date, with a final $500,000 seed round just opened (with considerable investment already committed from investors).

Clients on board include the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, West Coast Eagles and Carsales.com.au. QuizJam will soon release 1,500 trivia tournaments ready to pick and play, on topics relating to health and wellbeing, work-life balance, brain training, stress management and bullying.

QuizJam is currently undertaking the Plus Eight accelerator program, based at the FLUX coworking space in Perth.

QuizJam launched on May 15 2016 and is ranked #20 in BNiQ Startups list
