Idea was to make an application that made it easy for a streamer to make their own “Twitch Plays” on their live stream regardless of streaming platform and game by utilizing virtual controllers such as ViGEmBus (specifically the vgamepad module in Python).
After working on the idea with a mentor from the Dallas Entrepreneurship Center I convinced a couple of fellow Encyclopedia.Zone (Don Jolly‘s old website and formerly Dagger Magazine) board members to join me in applying to CodeLaunch, a startup competition in Dallas, TX.
After several rounds of interviews, one of which where we recieved a hackathon sponsorship from software consulting company Allata, we made it to the grand final of the competition as the only student finalists (I gave the pitch).
Outcome: Project discontinued. Did not raise any rounds of funding and team members had full-time jobs/school to attend to.
