Overview

Platform G, now renamed MindJolt, operates a social gaming platform that hosts roughly 1,300 games from about 1,000 third‑party developers. The platform distributes games on Facebook and MySpace, drawing roughly 19 million monthly players on Facebook alone and usage growing as much as 7% per week. MindJolt monetizes through advertising and revenue splits with developers and is reported to be profitable, though it does not disclose revenues. The company plans to add additional monetization features including virtual goods and developer tools. Leadership includes MySpace veterans recruited by founder Chris DeWolfe, and cofounder Richard Fields remains to head strategy. MindJolt is headquartered in San Francisco and will open an office in Los Angeles while hiring aggressively and pursuing additional acquisitions.
