About ABYA

ABYA is a cloud gaming technology company that provides a platform for users to stream and play video games on multiple devices without requiring high-end hardware. Founded in 2015 by Franco Miceli, Nicolás Jodal, and Waldemar Fernández, the company is headquartered in New York, with significant operations in Uruguay.

The company's core business revolves around its proprietary cloud gaming software, which grants subscribers access to a catalog of games. ABYA operates through a subscription-based model, offering different tiers of service. The platform is designed to make gaming accessible to a broader audience, particularly in markets with limited access to expensive gaming consoles and PCs. Users can play games on a variety of devices, including smartphones, tablets, computers, and smart TVs, with the ability to switch between them without losing progress.

A key component of ABYA's strategy is its partnership with NVIDIA, acting as the distributor and operator for "GeForce NOW Powered by ABYA" in Latin America. This collaboration allows users in the region to stream AAA-rated, graphically demanding PC games from NVIDIA's servers. The company also partners with telecommunication providers like Claro in Brazil and Antel in Uruguay to ensure a low-latency gaming experience. In addition to the NVIDIA partnership, ABYA has its own gaming service, ABYA Go, and collaborates with publishers like Ubisoft to bundle services such as Ubisoft+.

Since its inception, ABYA has raised $5.16 million in funding over four rounds, with investors including ThalesLab and the National Agency of Research and Innovation. The company is also expanding its focus beyond gaming to build a robust AI-ready infrastructure, acquiring next-generation servers to handle AI workloads, positioning itself as a future AI infrastructure provider in South America.
