About

Rave operates a platform that enables mobile game publishers to integrate social features directly into their games. Founded in 2013, the company provides both a software development kit and hosted backend services that handle identity management, leaderboards, achievements, and friend connections across multiple games and platforms. The infrastructure supports iOS, Android, and Unity development.

The scale of Rave's operations reflects its embedded position in the mobile gaming ecosystem. The platform is installed on hundreds of millions of devices globally and processes hundreds of millions of API requests daily, serving over 100 million users. The company's identity management and social graph services power viral growth mechanics for nearly 15% of top-grossing games, indicating deep integration with major publishers.

Rave operates as a bootstrapped, profitable company with offices in San Francisco, Portland, and Los Angeles. This structure has allowed the company to operate independently without external investor pressure. The platform includes white-label solutions that allow publishers to present social features under their own branding, alongside APIs that provide access to cross-app social graph data and engagement tools.
