What if you could flip on a switch and turn real-world stores into interactive worlds, using your smartphone? That's shopkick. We founded shopkick in the summer of 2009. Many of us have built mobile apps, mobile companies and e-commerce companies before, or worked at Internet or design companies, like Google, Palm, IDEO, Yahoo!, CBS Mobile, Shutterfly, TellMe/Microsoft, Mozilla, Cisco, SixApart, Loopt, GoldPocket Wireless and 12snap.
