Intel Global Challenge, held in Silicon Valley (Berkeley), just ended and now we know the winners.
Among them, there is a Romanian startup, Gameleon.

In their words, “Gameleon is a HTML5 platform enabling anybody to Create, Publish and Play Games. Multiplayer, Social and Multiplatform by default. Everything is visual and based on open standards.“.
Basically, you don’t need to be a programmer to create a game. Almost anyone can do it using their platform.

Victor Alexandru Popescu, Vlad Alexandru Radu, Mihaela Epuran and Adrian Calotescu are the co-founders of Gameleon. They were previously selected at Intel Business Challenge Europe (among other four startups) to participate at the Intel Business Challenge World 2013.

30 teams from all over the world competed in the finals of Intel Global Challenge and one team from Chile won the competition (and $50,000) with a project called “Mobile Monitoring Station”. Gameleon took home $10,000.

The Intel Global Challenge is where the best engineers and scientists present how they plan to make the world a better place through their innovations and entrepreneurial skills. The Intel Global Challenge partners with the best research institutions around the world and affiliates with regional competitions to find the technologies and teams that can have the greatest impact.

Gameleon (profiled on Romanian Startups) represented Bulgaria in this competition because they were funded by Eleven, a Bulgarian startup accelerator but they are nevertheless Romanian (Romanian founders).

Congratulations to the team!
