TaleMonster Games was founded by former Peak Games veterans to push the boundaries of casual mobile gaming. Its debut title, Match Valley, blends classic puzzle play with hero and tower-defence elements, delivering higher user engagement and longer average playtimes than typical genre peers. The team believes modern casual players demand greater depth, and it aims to satisfy this by producing broadly appealing games with distinctive mechanics. Early traction for Match Valley has validated the approach, with investors highlighting strong monetisation and retention metrics. Financially, the company has now raised a total of $37 million, comprising a $7 million seed round closed eight months ago and the new $30 million Series A. The fresh capital will fund continued development of Match Valley and the expansion of TaleMonster’s game portfolio, supporting its mission to surprise and challenge players.

Monetizr is a mobile games advertising platform that works at the intersection of gamers, publishers, and brands to deliver immersive brand experiences within gameplay. The platform enables brand managers to buy scalable, cost-effective ads across a data-driven consumer engagement system while helping publishers monetize games through a new class of in-game ad assets. It focuses on game-enriching experiences that provide repeated and varied storytelling opportunities rather than background decorations. On the backend, its SDK delivers anonymous consumer behavioral data that the company says is critical given upcoming Apple privacy changes affecting cookies and in-app data. Monetizr already works with major CPG brands like Procter & Gamble and game developers such as Voodoo. After raising $4M, the company plans to expand sales teams in North America and strengthen technical and product development hiring in its development hubs. Monetizr provides a platform that lets game publishers sell high-quality, game‑associated products in‑game and reward players for time spent and points earned. The company says its tools can increase ARPU by up to 25% by driving player attention and purchases of limited items. Brands can use Monetizr to reach targeted user groups with tailored advertising profiled by interests, location, purchase history and in‑game behaviors. The company plans to develop an API that uses machine learning to measure player engagement and identify emotional "driving factors" to boost conversion rates. Monetizr also intends to introduce a blockchain‑based universal currency allowing players to earn tokens for time, skills and money in one game and spend them in another. The company is San Francisco–based and was founded in Latvia by Andris Merkulovs (CEO) and Martins Bratuskins (COO).
