<p>My friend Austin Hill &#8212; a Montreal-based entrepeneur and <a href="http://www.billionswithzeroknowledge.com">angel investor</a>, and co-founder of Radialpoint &#8212; has been working feverishly for months now with a small team, putting together an ambitious startup venture called <a href="http://Akoha.com" title="http://Akoha.com" target="_blank">Akoha.com</a>. Not much has been written so far about the company and what it has planned, in part because it is launching at TechCrunch50 tomorrow, and the founders of TC50 don&#8217;t like there to be too much noise about their star candidates before launch time.</p>
<p>That said, however, I think it&#8217;s safe to tell you at this point that it&#8217;s a Web-based social game played with trading cards and aimed at spreading good deeds around the world. Why do I think it&#8217;s safe to say that? Because <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/09/09/mystery-invites-for-akoha/">that&#8217;s what</a> Erick Schonfeld has written over at TechCrunch, so I figure if it&#8217;s okay for Erick to blab then it&#8217;s okay for me too. The rest of the details &#8212; and they are quite interesting, I think &#8212; will have to wait until th big launch takes place at TC50 tomorrow.</p>
<p>But for now, I have some invites available for the Akoha beta, which will allow you to sign up for a &#8220;mystery&#8221; starter kit and get started playing the game. The first 100 people to click on <a href="http://shop.akoha.com/products/starter-kit-matthewingram">this link</a> will get one.</p>
