Overview
Agave Games develops and publishes free-to-play mobile puzzle games for global audiences. Its games monetize through in-app purchases and in-app advertising, and the company uses AI to generate initial art which is refined by human artists to balance automation with craftsmanship. The founders bring a track record of contributing to titles with billions of downloads and strong data analytics leadership, helping the studio stand out in the casual puzzle market with titles like Find the Cat. The goal is to grow its portfolio and team by leveraging funding rounds to expand beyond Find the Cat, launching at least two new titles and expanding the Istanbul studio.
