Description

The San Francisco-based company provides an online gaming platform with a mobile gameplay SDK that allows users to record and share video of gameplay. Kamcord has built three products in five years, including a mobile gameplay recording SDK that was on 200M devices at its peak, a live streaming community with 2M MAU and $2M ARR off virtual goods, and a mobile social app focused on editing and sharing screenshots and screen recordings. The company's core thesis is that people do interesting things on their phone screens but lack a good way to capture and share those moments.
