Tigerhawk Entertainment, LLC

Ben is the founder of Tigerhawk Entertainment, which is developing a "social networking DVR." With five kids and a busy job, Ben can never catch Game of Thrones or the Hawkeyes on live TV. Wanting to read Twitter without spoilers, Ben devised a "social networking DVR" (patent pending) which delays delivery of social networking content about shows scheduled to record on the DVR, so that the social networking content is delivered in synchronization with your own time-shifted viewing.

Inventor

Ben is also co-inventor with colleague Kirk Damman of a gaming technology for providing a "parallel reality" geographic-based gaming experience on mobile devices.
