Plexchat offers a mobile-first chat and multimedia-sharing platform designed to connect and engage mobile gamers through smart messages, responsive rooms, embedded wikis, and community-management tools. The product emphasizes gaming-specific features such as replies, polls, galleries, ranks, roles, bans, invite-only rooms and easy video sharing. The company launched a beta earlier in the year and is redesigning the app based on user feedback, with plans to release on iOS and Android. Plexchat intends to monetize via deep referrals for game companies rather than relying on banner ads. The team is led by CEO Shawn Foust and includes engineering lead Jeremy Ong; the company has about 20 employees. Plexchat aims to become the premier application for mobile gamers to discover games and build community around them.
