TikTok for user-generated games

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform where anyone can create, play, publish, and monetize their own games easily. It's like TikTok but for games - users scroll through an endless feed of short, user-generated games and can also quickly make and share their own without needing coding skills.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based here as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the right talent pool, a strong tech community, and is close to gaming and AI innovators. It's a natural home for a consumer gaming startup like ours.
