After Aadil Mamujee graduated from Harvard Business School in 2010, he could have worked anywhere. Rather than join a hedge fund or consulting firm though, he signed up with a small, San Francisco gaming start-up best known for “Tap Pet Hotel,” an iPhone videogame that lets users build hotel rooms for animated puppies and pandas.
It wasn’t a passion for videogames that sent Mr. Mamujee, 29 years old, to Pocket Gems Inc.
