Minit Games is the open platform for short-form play. We deliver bite-sized, instantly playable HTML5 games in a personalized, algorithmically driven feed. No downloads, no wait times. Just tap and play. Gaming is the last major media format still trapped in stores. Players live in feeds, but discovering a new game still means searching, downloading, and waiting. For creators, the odds are stacked: the top 1% of publishers capture 92% of all in-app purchase revenue. Everyone else fights for scraps of visibility. Minit changes that. Our AI-powered recommendation engine learns from every interaction, matching players with content they love and giving creators a real path to reach their audience. For creators, Minit is open by design. Publish using any tool that exports to HTML5, from professional engines to AI coding tools. We handle distribution and discovery so you can focus on building great content. Founded in Hamburg. Backed by LVP and Sony Innovation Fund. Were building a breathing, living ecosystem for new game ideas. Welcome to the next era of play.

VaultN empowers digital publishers, distributors, and retailers with a data-driven platform that streamlines workflows, enhances transparency, and safeguards digital products - all on one secure platform. Simplify digital publishing, optimize distribution, and boost discoverability while maximizing efficiency and staying in control.

ReadyM is enabling cooperative and competitive multiplayer experiences in a game originally designed for single-player. Our platform provides professional-grade infrastructure (enterprise server hosting, anti-cheat systems, automatic updates) ensuring stability and safety for players while extending engagement and replay value.

Flower is Flexible Power. We are a next-gen energy company leveraging AI and machine learning to make renewable energy stable and always available – even when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. Through industry-leading optimization and trading of energy assets like wind and solar farms, battery systems, and EV chargers, we make renewable energy reliable and predictable, leading the charge towards the energy system of tomorrow.
