"This post is part of Mashable\u2019s Startup Review series, which highlights great unsung startups. The series is made possible by Sun Startup Essentials.\nCompany Name\nDareMyCompany.com\n20-Word Description\nDareMyCompany is a simple tool that lets companies find other companies for different sports and other challenges/competitions.\nCEO's Pitch\nAs a firm we wanted to encourage healthy interaction with other firms but couldnt figure out on how to find them. So that's why we created DMC so with its help we can find other firms who would like to have friendly or competitive competitions with us in sports or other activites. The site also has a annual ranking system to encourge healthy competiton.\nMashable's Take\nI absolutely love the idea of DareMyCompany. At a previous office job there were internal rumblings that a volleyball team was in the works, but alas, no one had the time to coordinate or manage a team, let alone a match, and it never happened. The DareMyCompany site is a helpful resource that aims to solve some of these challenges for companies looking to keep their employees active and engaged in competitive activities.\nWhen you register for DareMyCompany, you can either register your company or register with an existing company, although there's only a handful of existing companies at the moment.  Each company has to be validated, and while it might be kind of annoying to wait, I think this added process will help to ensure that only legitimate companies compete and create accounts. After all, a site like DareMyCompany is only as good as the companies that use it, and its success or failure will depend on how many companies actually create accounts and go on to compete in challenges.\n\nEach battle-hungry company can schedule a challenge (the site lets you select from sports like Cricket, Field Hockey, Soccer, and Chess, or even video games like Counter-Strike), dare a rival company, accept any open challenge, and view past results. The better your company performs, the faster you'll climb the ladder of the leaderboard.\nNow if only all those other Mashers would relocate to San Diego; I can definitely envision a volleyball head to head - winner take blog. Of course for now there's always the virtual games, but what's a competition without some blood, sweat, and tears?\nEditor\u2019s Note: This post is part of an ongoing series at Mashable - The Startup Review, Sponsored by Sun Microsystems Startup Essentials.
