Our take
Mobile gaming continues to grow in popularity, and more and more big companies and franchises are publishing their offerings for download, but this has made it extremely hard for small games, with small teams, to stand out. Homa Games builds tools for developers to build successful mobile games, including publishing and monetising their products.
Homa Games is the world’s leading platform for mobile game creation and publishing and is one of the companies driving the industry towards a data-driven and systematic approach. The company helps developers build faster, with testing tools; create more popular games through market intelligence; and remove financial risk by offering smart in-app advertisements and distribution management.
Since 2018, Homa Games has attracted one billion downloads for its published games. The company has raised an impressive level of funding that will be used to improve its tech stack and expand into web3 and NFTs, and it has acquired and partnered with other technologies towards this next goal. Ultimately, Homa Games wants to build a universe of interconnected games with virtual worlds and characters owned by creators and players, an ambitious task that it will be interesting to see if they can achieve.
