We are building an API for payroll systems to make it easy to verify your income and employment. Verifications currently are either very expensive or very slow (it can take multiple days). With our API, a verification can be done within a few seconds, which will make it easier and cheaper to apply for a loan, to rent an apartment, or verify your previous employment when you switch jobs. We are also building an admin product that allows companies to connect their products to the payroll systems of other companies and enables our customers to build new products they wouldn't have been able to build before.

There’s a massive transition happening in the video games industry right now. Gaming has become a full-blown cultural movement, and many fail to appreciate how it has already become the dominant form of leisure and entertainment for an entire generation. But as culture has evolved, technology has advanced, and more people have gravitated toward games, the industry incumbents that run the show haven’t kept up. Our big bet is that by empowering game creators with better technology, we'll make the entire ecosystem more welcoming, connected, efficient, creative, and fun for all. We’re an early stage startup backed by Thrive Capital, Griffin Gaming Partners, Ribbit Capital and a16z's inaugural SPEEDRUN class. Our mission is to help game creators achieve independence by building the tools they need to start, run, and scale their businesses.
