At Improbable, we believe that simulations as large and complex as the real world are the next fundamental breakthrough technology. Like in the real world, objects in these simulations will change in response to their environment, and their interactions will combine to form massive, complex systems. We are building the platform to make these simulations possible. New worlds for gaming and entertainment can now be created using our product, SpatialOS. Our technology creates permanent, persistent and engaging experiences: worlds where your actions really matter. The same technology that makes imaginary worlds feel real can also illuminate complex systems at work in reality. We use insight acquired through simulation to solve real world problems. You can find out more about our technology on our website - improbable.io

Nest Navigate™ is a gamified AI education platform that helps renters become confident homeowners. We turn the homebuying journey into interactive lessons, personalized action plans, and real rewards. As users progress, they earn Nest Coins™ they can redeem for everyday savings and services that make the path to purchase more achievable. The problem we’re solving: Millions of renters feel locked out of homeownership due to credit readiness, budgeting gaps, and confusing processes. Traditional “education” is boring, one-size-fits-all, and not connected to tangible benefits. Our solution: AI-guided learning that adapts to each renter’s financial starting point. Milestone-based rewards (Nest Coins™) to build momentum and offset real costs along the way. A growing partner rewards marketplace with national and local brands so users save money now while preparing for tomorrow. Clear progress tracking across key steps (credit, savings, pre-qualification, touring, and closing). Where we are now: MVP built, early user traction, and expanding partner offers while we iterate toward a nationwide launch. We’re an edtech/fintech platform (not a brokerage), designed to complement— not replace—professionals who support buyers. Our mission: Turn aspiration into action by giving renters the knowledge, plan, and rewards to move from renting to owning.

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.
