Julie Uhrman, Ouya - XOXO Festival (2013)

The founder and CEO of one of Kickstarter's most successful - and controversial - hardware projects, Julie Uhrman had a simple vision: a $99 console that brings the mobile app model to the TV, letting any developer to publish a console game without restrictions. Ouya went on to raise over $8M to become the second-most funded project on Kickstarter, and the indie-friendly console was released in June.
Recorded in September 2013 at XOXO, an arts and technology festival in Portland, Oregon celebrating independent artists using the Internet to make a living doing what they love. For more, visit xoxofest.com.
