David Manga grew up in Ottawa, Canada. He was just 23 when he founded Outset Media in 1996. He was still a student completing his BCom at the University of Ottawa, from which he graduated in 1996. He launched his first game, All Canadian Trivia, while still at university. After playing another well-known trivia game and realizing he knew more about the United States than his own country, he wanted to play a trivia game with a Canadian focus. When he couldn’t find one, he created All Canadian Trivia. That game went on to become a Canadian best-seller (more than 100,000 copies sold) and spawned Junior, French and Millennium editions, a Supplemental Question set, and the 10th Anniversary Edition.

In 2002, Manga created the first games in the Professor Noggin’s card game series.
This popular series now numbers 34 games, which have won many major awards, receiving honors from the likes of the Parent’s Choice Foundation, the National Association for Gifted Children and Scholastic Instructor Magazine.

In 2002, Manga and Outset Media won the Vancouver Island Business Excellence Award for Manufacturer of the Year. In 2003, the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce named David Manga Young Entrepreneur of the Year. In addition, Profit Magazine ranked Outset Media one of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies for three straight years: in 2003, 2004 and 2005. Outset Media has been the Neighbourhood Toy Stores of Canada (NETS) Supplier of the Year for 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007.
