Megacool, founded in June 2015 and based in San Francisco with an office in Oslo, builds mobile game technology that enables players to share game moments as GIFs. Its core product is an API that allows mobile game developers to drive downloads and engage users by creating a seamless way to share mobile gameplay moments through GIFs. The company positions this as a means to boost digital word-of-mouth marketing and game discovery by making sharing frictionless. Megacool intends to use the $1.5m seed financing to expand its team, particularly engineering and development staff in Oslo. It will accelerate product and business development to grow the API and bring developers into the current beta. No revenue or user metrics were disclosed in the article.
