Adzap

Mobile-grade performance and attribution solution for PC/Console games

PC & Console gaming is a $90B market, bigger than mobile and growing faster. Steam and other platforms are hitting saturation, yet no “Applovin for PC/Console” has emerged. On mobile, Applovin became the most valuable company by owning UA. We believe now is the moment to bring that model to PC & Console. That’s what Adzap is building: the player acquisition platform for PC/Console games. Already live with Unity, UE, and custom engine integrations, and powering top titles from Tier-1 publishers.

The AI Chief Product Officer

While AI agents can build and ship code at unprecedented speed, they lack the strategic context and product intuition to make meaningful decisions. Brief provides the missing "intention layer" - giving AI agents business context, user understanding, and institutional memory to make intelligent product trade-offs.
