BigLittleBang.com shoots for the stars!

Online virtual world BigLittleBang.com has been recognised by Deloitte and New Zealand Trade & Enterprise with the inaugural Deloitte Fast 50 Rising Star Award.

This new award celebrates the next generation of Deloitte Fast 50 businesses - early stage, innovative, high potential companies.

BigLittleBang.com is a safe online game that enables kids to be creative with music regardless of their musical background. Its objective is to encourage children of all ages to explore music via gaming in a 3D animated, futuristic space environment. Users can create their own unique avatar on the site, explore “planets” and make music with others online in real time. The site also offers a wide variety of safe social networking features.

Born from the University of Auckland Spark Entrepreneurship Challenge, BigLittleBang.com is the invention of entrepreneur Chris White.

“We are thrilled to be recognised for the hard work we have put into building the right team, product and business strategy for significant global growth”, says BigLittleBang.com CEO Chris White.

In 2009 BigLittleBang.com was the winner of the ICEHOUSE Fast Pitch Competition and has been able to develop the platform thanks to the support of the local Angel investment community. Today BigLittleBang.com is live online with more than 17,000 registered users and targeting offshore markets in 2012.
