Geewa

Based in Prague, Czech Republic, Geewa is a mobile games studio focused on developing and publishing casual, competitive player-versus-player (PvP) multiplayer games. The company was founded in 2005 by Milos Endrle, who also serves as the company's CEO. Geewa is an acronym for "Games for Everyone, Everywhere, With Anyone," reflecting its mission to bring competitive multiplayer gaming to a broad audience.

Geewa operates within the mobile gaming market, creating free-to-play games for mobile devices and browsers. Its business model centers on in-app purchases and monetization strategies to generate revenue. The company’s products are designed for long-term player engagement through features like tournaments and leagues. One of its most successful titles is "Smashing Four," a PvP game that combines billiard physics with fantasy RPG hero characters who possess special abilities. This game, launched in 2018, achieved significant success, reaching the number one position in both the Czech App Store and Google Play charts. Another notable title is "Pool Live Tour," which has been played by over 100 million people worldwide.

The company's journey includes several key funding rounds, raising a total of $6.2 million from investors like Springtide Ventures and MCI Capital. A significant milestone occurred in February 2020 when Geewa received a strategic investment from AppLovin, a U.S.-based mobile games company. This investment was intended to help Geewa scale its popular games globally on AppLovin's platform, while allowing the studio to continue operating as an independent company with its existing management.
