Company Description

We create long-running games with meaningful social experiences for our players. We've made Pet City (on Facebook) and Pet Buddies (on mobile). Many players forge lasting and even lifelong friendships. Our players stay with our games a lot longer than most other games (8 years instead of 12-15 months). We're on a mission to rapidly expand our established gaming community with the help of two new exciting games launched in 2019, Pet City 2 and Design Academy.

Valuation

Security Description

A SAFE is an agreement between you—the investor—and the company in which the company promises to give you a future equity stake based on the amount you invested. It also involves some kind of a triggering event that must take place in order for you to get your future equity stake. Be careful as you may only get equity if a particular event is triggered.
