Overview
Aghanim builds merchant-of-record and web-commerce infrastructure for mobile game developers. Its tools create browser-based game hubs with storefronts, metagame activities, community features, payments, personalized offers and live operations. The company says its AI-assisted setup minimizes integration effort and that game publishers can improve net revenue by selling directly on the web.
Former Xsolla executives are among its founding team, including Constantin Andry. Aghanim participated in Speedrun SR002. The official a16z profile describes investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, QED and P72V and listed 52 employees in 2026, but it does not disclose a financing amount or verify its maximum claimed revenue uplift independently.
The main strategic question is whether publisher web-channel adoption offsets payment processing, marketing, fraud, tax, player support and regulatory costs. Integrations and baseline cohort analyses matter more than headline uplift percentages.
Why Aghanim is interesting
Aghanim addresses a tangible mobile-games unit-economics problem: converting app-store-constrained game transactions into publisher-run web commerce. The official cohort lists 52 employees and backing by several venture firms, but independently verified round amounts are not established here.
