Every year, our players record billions of clips, each representing a unique, action-packed highlight. We’re building the next generation of gaming communities - social, monetized, and creator-powered. Our mission is to design products that make sharing, discovering, and connecting around gaming moments seamless and fun.

We raised a seed round of $133M from General Catalyst and Khosla to discover the next generation of intelligence.
