People are just so much more motivated to go out and do that activity when they get a notification that their territory has just been stolen. It becomes quite personal. You're taking the competitive spirit, you're taking the slot machine nature of apps and smartphones, and you're using it for good. This week in Startups is brought to you by Superhuman.
