Our Founder

We care about this idea because we want to create a better gaming experience for everyone. We believe that by offering a variety of games and allowing players to trade digital goods, we can create a more inclusive and fun gaming experience for all.

Gamestacy is a gaming company founded by Danish Sinha, who has built more than 17 games and had past successful exit. Gamestacy has created Influenzer, an award-winning gaming metaverse

Influenzer is a new and exciting lifestyle gaming platform that is even more social and futuristic than Roblox—and which is leading the way in taking gaming into the metaverse and riding the multi-billion-dollar wave of social games.

Influenzer:

Gamestacy’s Influenzer has consistently seen a long-term engagement rate are stronger than our competitors.

In an age where people are constantly seeking to virtually socialize with each other, and where the aspiration of being an influencer has become practically universal, Influenzer is the metaverse gaming platform that’s got it all to attract and retain millions of users:

  • It’s a gaming platform where users can play in-platform fashion games
  • It’s a social network where users can hang out and digitally socialize with each other in the metaverse
  • It’s a social interaction platform where users can create their own designs, post their style and get community feedback
  • It’s a user-generated marketplace where users can design new dresses that other users can purchase

It is also a carefully designed user-friendly platform built around the tastes, preferences, and aspirations of our target user.

Engagement Matters: More Engaging Than Our Competitor

A game is only as great as the engagement it secures from its users—which is why we’re proud to state that Influenzer has long term engagement rates that are more than double those seen in our competitors.

Our Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in 2019 had a 30-day retention of 9.8%.

A Top Google Alumnus Accelerated in 2021

In 2021, we received exciting news from Google: we were selected from thousands of applications and joined the top 35 companies that Google selected for acceleration in the year.

We should also say that we have been selected to be part of the 2022 class for Google for Startups Accelerator at @GoogleStartups, a program for promising growth-stage companies.

That makes us feel even more confident about inviting you and other investors to invest in Gamestacy - because you’ll likely feel even more interested after you know that Google believes in our capacity and potential.

The Business Model: Gamestacy’s Revenue Model

Currently, Gamestacy’s revenue model is based on Influenzer’s ability to generate sales through three channels:

1. Marketplace Fees

We make money when our creators successfully sell their digital items on our platform. We charge them a percentage of what they make according to a revenue-sharing model between the creator and Gamestacy.

2. In-App Purchases

Paying users can trade fiat currency for in-game digital currency and season passes. These users can leverage in-game currency in exchange for a variety of exclusive content as well as digital content from other third-party creators showcasing creatives through the platform marketplace.

3.  Advertisements

We allow brands to create awareness by showcasing their products as long as these brands cater to our target audience. These brand partnerships are used to generate revenue from all users alike through conventional modes of online advertising

Gamestacy has received initial seed capital of $125k from Sanjay Kumar, Ex-CEO of Elior India & Altran India.

Use case and expectations of game worlds have changed among younger gamers and we are here to cater to their needs.

Introducing the Influenzer Social Games Platform!

We are fundamentally creating an inclusive gaming platform with an Instagram like social network, a variety of games, the capability to support an in-game blockchain network, user-created virtual events and fully customizable characters, among other features.

Initial benchmark tests have shown promising results vis-a-vis our target audience as well as long-term target retention.

Lifestyle gamers alone account for a market worth $19.42 billion.

Influenzer is a culmination of the best features from various similar platforms mixed in just the right way for an optimal social gaming experience.

We have integrated an immersive storyline with engaging core gameplay mechanics so the experience closely resembles the user's journey on a real-life social network.

We are moving from a more classical form of monetization like in-app purchases and ads, to a more scalable, platform level of monetization to enable a creator economy.

With a team of diverse yet focused mentors and end to end capabilities in game development, data science, live-ops, quality assurance and community building, we are the right team.
