Chat game universe
We are building a platform that lets users play games through chat. It combines gaming elements with chat interfaces to create an interactive universe where players can explore and compete without leaving their messaging apps.
We live in New York, NY, and plan to keep the company headquartered here after YC.
New York has a large gaming and tech community, and being here keeps us close to key partners and users. It's also home for us personally.
