Our take
The social media landscape is missing an important demographic - gamers. Craving more interactivity than typing in some text or uploading some videos, this market segment is looking for the next big thing. Noice seeks to be the social network for people who love games, offering a platform featuring gameplay at its core.
Noice is still keeping very tight lipped about its product, with only testers and select audiences at demonstration events getting a look in. But its founding team scaled Unity Ads to over $100 million in revenue and a network size of over 250 million monthly users. Despite competion from Facebook, TikTok and Instagram in this sector, this team's focus on gamers and their experience in delivering a product they want may carve them out a significant niche in this sector.
Noice has completed funding rounds led by entrepreneurs with extensive gaming industry experience, including the founders of Unity, Supercell and Playfish. It is using these funds to hire new talent and to build the platform for a public release in the near future.
