Top Games Startups in 2026

Here's a clean Wellfound About Us: KingPool is the social network for sports fans in the real world. Our core product — KingMap — is a live, crowd-sourced map that shows sports fans where their friends are watching, which venues are electric, and what the gameday atmosphere looks like across their city in real time. We're solving the problem every sports fan faces every week: where is everyone watching, and is it worth going? We're building in three compounding stages. Phase 1 is social discovery — KingMap, live venue intelligence, and the social graph that connects fans around shared gameday rituals. Phase 2 adds real-money gaming — sweepstakes pools, DFS contests, and peer-to-peer predictions layered directly on top of the social platform. Phase 3 is a CFTC-regulated prediction exchange — the same destination Novig raised $75M at $500M to reach, but with a social platform and proprietary real-world fan data asset they'll never have. We're pre-seed, pre-launch, and building fast. If you want to work on a product that sits at the intersection of social, gaming, and the live sports experience — and you want to build it from the ground up — this is the right place.

Fantasy sports experiences are flat. We're adding a thrilling new dimension that gives players a role beyond just picking a team.

LevelsPro leverages gamification methods to teach, reinforce and motivate users to adopt an organization's best practices using work incentives, competitions and training games. Imagine that you work at a clothing store in the mall. You get points for every pair of jeans that you sell. You get points when you sell a top to go with the jeans. You get points when you play a training game to improve your ability to sell accessories. And when you get enough points you can earn an award - like an extra 10% discount, or the best parking spot in the lot, or your choice of shifts for a week. Wouldn’t you work a little bit harder to win those awards sooner? That’s what LevelsPro does. It takes the game play experience that we’ve all learned through casual games and applies it to the real work that’s done every day. It uses missions, points, levels and awards to motivate hourly workers to improve their skills, improve their performance and contribute more effectively to the team effort.
