NADA AI’s Aippy, billed as the world’s first AI-native game community, has closed its first funding round led by Hong Kong-based Glowill Capital, reaching a post-money valuation of $250 million. Proceeds will fund global talent acquisition and user growth.
Since launching in April 2025, Aippy has surpassed three million downloads and is approaching two million monthly active users, with players collectively creating more than two million games on the platform. Daily game publishing has grown tenfold since the start of the year, and daily engagement among active users sits at nearly 50 percent.
Founder Evan Yip said the company’s priorities are improving AI-powered recommendation systems and deepening investment in creator tools and incentives, with the goal of making content discovery more personalised. He described the long-term vision as building a community where AI-driven creativity compounds across users rather than existing in isolated tools.
Glowill Capital said it was drawn to Aippy’s combination of consumer internet expertise and the potential for AI to dramatically lower the barriers to game creation, noting strong organic enthusiasm among users across Europe and North America.
