InnoVenture, LLC. Launches New Web Site to Market Card Games That Make Learning Math Fun
ORLANDO - InnoVenture, LLC, a “soup to nuts” marketing and branding firm based in Orlando, has launched a new web page to market card games that make learning math skills fun.
John Santo, vice president of InnoVenture, LLC, said that I See Cards, LLC’s fun math skills games---PyraMath®, Fractazmic®, Prime Bomb® and I See Cards®---help make learning of basic math skills that are evaluated in the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT), FUN!
“All four games are now being used by teachers in Brevard, Volusia and Orange County schools to help teach math skills. Parents cannot afford to not have this game for their kids,” Santo explained.
PyraMath®--- the most popular game -- was developed when University of Central Florida engineering professor Dr. Ron Eaglin found his own children weren’t interested in learning math skills.
While Dr. Eaglin had a great game he did not have the means to develop or market it. Eaglin showed the card game scribbled on napkins to InnoVenture President Dean Monaco, who with John Santo, came up with a plan to help commercialize and bring the product to the world.
“We believe the inability to execute an idea should not put the brakes on innovation. Just because you don't know how to get your idea off the ground, doesn't mean it isn't worth your time.” Santo said.
InnoVenture, LLC is a member of the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program located at the Central Florida Research Park in east Orlando.
