William "Whurley" Hurley - Chaotic Moon Studios

Russ is in Austin catching up with former BusinessMaker guest William Hurley—better known as “whurley” among his followers and co-founder of Chaotic Moon. Whurley’s start-up is still out there doing amazing things, and their latest project is no exception. Chaotic Moon was integral in the design and launch of The Daily, a digital news publication for the iPad and one of the largest “App” launches ever. The Daily, obviously a high stakes project, comprises many “firsts” and, by all accounts, is getting rave reviews.
