We welcome Jenny Xu! Jenny is a recent MIT graduate who studied computer science. She hails from the Bay Area. Once a self-described “shy kid,” she is now the cofounder and CEO of Talofa Games, which is building a social running mobile game. So far, they’ve built a playable prototype and are building out their team. They recently won $300K at Niantic’s Beyond Reality Developer Contest. But, this isn’t Jenny’s first company. Seven years ago when she was just a junior in high school, she founded JCSoft to release and distribute her games which garnered over 9.2 million downloads. Jenny’s other accolades include Forbes 30 under 30 in Games, IGDA Scholar and Women in Games Ambassador, and the MIT Outstanding New Leader Award. Why does Jenny love gaming? How does one even make a game? How did she get to 9.2 million downloads? How did MIT help her? And lastly, what's ABS WITH JENNY?
