Zygna
In January, 2008, Pincus launched Zygna, a company which seeks to capitalize on Facebook's recent decision to open itself to outside programmers. Zygna creates versions of popular games and integrates them with Facebook's interface, allowing users to play friends also on the network. Pincus claims that the company has touched none of the $10 million in venture capital he has raised for the project, and that the company had, by early 2008, already broken even solely through advertising. -
