- Cocos
Participated · Series B · Apr 2022
Cocos Technologies provides a cross-platform, open-source engine historically focused on 2D mobile games and has added 3D capabilities to its engine. The company is positioning the engine for a resurgence in HTML5 web "mini games" and expanding into non-game use cases such as online education and autonomous-driving/smart-cockpit simulations. Cocos is free to use and has sustained itself through services (support and tutorials), events, and funding from its parent, Chukong. It has major partnerships with Huawei (to support HarmonyOS and in-house chips) and supports Baidu’s metaverse platform Xirang. Cocos says its engine has served 1.4 million developers across 203 countries and regions and powers about 60% of China’s mini games. The team has grown from roughly 100 employees 18 months ago to about 300 as of this month, and the company is seeking to accelerate growth with outside capital.
