S8 Bonus: Dan & Caroline, Overplay

Caroline Strzalka is a Philadelphia native, born and raised. She is a first generation American, and is grateful to be in a place to be running her own company. Her parents are from Argentina, with a polish heritage - so she pointed out that they speak a lot of languages in her home. Outside of tech, she loves to hike and be in the trees. And, she calls herself the McGyver of the kitchen, meaning she can take anything from the fridge and make a stellar meal out of it.

Dan Projansky is a country boy, only moving to NYC when he was 11 years old. He is a father of a 14 year old, who he adores, and is an avid mountain biker and motorcyclist. In fact, he has owned over 50 different motorcycles across different brands over the years. Originally, he attended to school for film, but after working at Sesame Street, he started to work in computers and development - and, is where he met Caroline.

One day, Dan was watching some videos online. He had a thought, a desire, a want - to play the video like it was a game. And eventually, this idea turned into a business, which he started with his co-founder Caroline.

This is the creation story of Overplay.
