Today, with offices in Oslo and Hyderabad, we serve industry leading video game data and insights to the biggest companies worldwide, influencing millions of gaming decisions every day. Our evolution from a small startup to an industry leader is driven by our dedication to providing gamers with extraordinary experiences. We are now transitioning into a product company, developing B2B and B2C products that will revolutionize how people engage with games.

We are scaling up our operations, and our vision over the next three years is to create extraordinary experiences for a billion gamers every day. Join us in this exciting journey and help us shape the future of gaming!
