The story behind Startup Trivia
People have loved quizzes for a very long time. Pub quizzes spread through Britain in the 1970s, and the board game Trivial Pursuit, created in Canada in 1979 and sold from 1981, turned trivia into a family sport. In India, Kaun Banega Crorepati arrived in 2000 and made the whole country sit in front of the television with a ready answer. Startup Trivia gives that quiz night feeling a business turn. It is a friendly way to pick up the language of founders, marketers and engineers, one question at a time.
