Andreessen Horowitz-Backed TinyCo’s Co-Founder Spivey Leaves
July 11th, 2011
Andreessen Horowitz-backed mobile gaming TinyCo has had a bit of a management shakeup we’ve heard, with one of the co-founders, Ian Spivey, leaving the company.
The other co-founder Suleman Ali remains chief executive and on the board with Marc Andreessen. Spivey did not respond to a request for comment, while a comment from Ali is forthcoming. Ali, who sold social gaming company Esgut to SGN in 2008, and Spivey originally founded the company as Brooklyn Packet before renaming it TinyCo. They became friends in high school before Ali went onto Microsoft and Spivey went to Macquarie Group. Five months ago, the startup turned heads in the mobile gaming community when it announced an $18 million round led by Andreessen Horowitz at what we heard was around a $100 million valuation. The company had two early hits: Tiny Chef and Tap Resort Party, which each had accumulated 5 million downloads at the time the funding was announced. The company has since had two more major launches with Tiny Zoo, another casual resource-management game similar to Pocket Gems’ Tap Zoo, and Tiny Nightclub, which entered a very crowded field with Booyah’s Nightclub City DJ Rivals, TeamLava’s Nightclub Story and Tapulous’ Club World. Tiny Zoo has been a fairly strong performer, maintaining its rank in the top twenty to thirty highest-grossing iOS apps since its launch in April. The company is said to have a Medieval city builder like Z2Live’s TradeNations in the works as well.
TinyCo also recently launched a $5 million fund to find third-party developers to support and add to their network.

アンドリーセン ホロウィッツが出資するタイニー社の共同創始者、スピヴェイ氏が退職
アンドリーセン ホロウィッツが出資するモバイルゲームのタイニー社は聞くところによると、競争創始者のひとり、イアンスピヴェイ氏が退職することで、経営にちょっとした波紋が広がっているようだ。
残る一人の共同創始者のスルマンアリ氏は最高経営の職に、マークアンドリーセンも役員にそれぞれとどまる。スピヴェイ氏は沈黙を保っているが、アリ氏からコメントが発表される模様

残る一人の共同創始者のスルマンアリ氏は最高経営の職に、マークアンドリーセンも役員にそれぞれとどまる。スピヴェイ氏は沈黙を保っているが、アリ氏からコメントが発表される模様
2008年にソーシャルゲームの会社をＳＧＮに売却したアリ氏とスピヴェイ氏はもともとブルックリンパケットを起業、同社は後にタイニーに社名変更している。同氏らは高校時代からの友人で、後にアリ氏はマイクロソフトに、スピヴェイ氏はマッカリーに入社する。
５か月前、この新会社はモバイルゲームコミュニティーに転身した際、アンドリーセン ホロウィッツの指示により1憶ドルといわれるバリュエーションに1800万ドルのラウンド投資を発表した。同社は初期ヒット作が２品ある。１つはタイニーシェフとタップリゾートパーティで、アンドリーセンホロウィッツによれば、当時は5万回ダウンロードされたとのことだ。
その後同社は２大製品を発売した。１つはタイニーズでこれはPocket GemsのTap Zooに似た、簡易資産管理ゲームである。２つめはTiny Nightclubでこちらは非常に込み入ったTeamLavaのナイトクラブの物語とTapulousのクラブの世界へBooyahのナイトクラブDJ、Rivalsとともに潜り込むものである。
Tiny Zooはパフォーマンスが非常によく、４月の発売以来iOSアプリの収益で上位20-30位のランキングを維持した。同社は72LiveのTradeNationsのような中世都市建設ゲームも作るだろうといわれていた。
Tiny社は近頃、第三者ディベロッパを探して支援するために500万ドルのファンドを立ち上げ、ネットワークに加えた。
