Our take
As gaming becomes more and more popular, the trend in user-generated content such as mods is also on the rise. Overwolf wants to empower the creators of such content, with a platform that supports the building of apps and publishing of mods, as well as the monetization of these creations.
Through the platform, creators can develop apps with a range of capabilities, such as stat-trackers or gameplay capture tools. Then, they can track app downloads, engagement and reviews all from a single place. Mod developers have access to a complete toolset through which they can manage all their mods and add-ons, protect their content from unauthorized duplications and distribute with a wide range of revenue models.
On top of these tools for developers, the site acts as a marketplace for gamers to find the add-ons they want, connecting them to creations that can enhance their gaming experience. Having expanded into the US in 2023, following a year in which it generated over $50 million in advertising revenue, Overwolf is on an impressive trajectory and is certainly one to watch.

Company values
- Support Main (Service, Integrity, Teamwork) - We’re in the business of empowering others. We are not the heroes of the story, but the supporting force behind the veil. Support Main is about seeing others, caring about their needs, and willfully serving them. We’re sensitive to the challenges of our pack members, our peers, and the gaming community and do our best to be supportive, attentive, and kind. Their glory is our own
- On-the-Hunt (Hunger, Initiative, Speed) - We’re awake, alert, and ready to jump on opportunities. Being On-the-Hunt is about detecting favorable circumstances as they arise, figuring out the right moment to strike, and moving quickly with our pack members to seize them. We never passively wait for someone else to act, we do. We’re not given, we earn. We are wolves, after all
- Quest Complete (Ownership, Reliability, Get it done) - We never abandon a mission midway. Quest Complete is about one’s ability to own and execute a task from start to finish. Having a solution-seeking soul, rather than a problem-raising one. Our genuine care and reliability generate peace of mind for our pack members, knowing we will get the job done, or raise a red flag on time. We’ll do whatever it takes to check all our quest’s objectives, until the end credits roll
- Tame Your Shadow (Be open & honest, Embrace feedback, Avoid drama) - We all have a dark side. Taming your Shadow is about dominating our negative emotions rather than the other way around. Seeing feedback as a gift rather than as an insult. Sensing when our defensive, offensive, passive-aggressive, ego-driven thoughts emerge. When that happens, we pause, reflect, and alchemize those feelings into a source of fuel. Casting shadows is human; Taming them - is wolfish
- Become Legendary (Growth mindset, Passion, Mastery) - We don’t settle for Common or even Rare. Becoming Legendary is about having a true passion for evolving, improving, and mastering our domains. You touch legendary when you’ve created something that’s better than before, carefully crafted to its tiniest details, and most of all, inspiring. It’s about having a growth mindset that’s always striving to become and to create better. It’s a quest we’ve all eagerly embarked upon, aspiring to become progressively less stupid every day
