Nix Hydra is a Los Angeles-based software entertainment studio founded in 2012 by Lina Chen and Naomi Ladizinsky that builds mobile apps and games for young women. Its debut title, Egg Baby, is a virtual pet that became a U.S. phenomenon among teen girls, amassing almost 9 million downloads and a 4.5/5 average score from more than 108K reviews. The studio also publishes Hot Guy Alarm Clock and focuses on eccentric, irreverent products aligned with a female-dominant fan base. The company announced a $5M Series A led by Foundry Group, bringing total funding to more than $5.6M.
