About

Beamable is a Boston-based game services company that provides a Unity-native live game services platform designed to help game studios build, operate, and monetize live-service games without leaving the Unity development environment. Beamable's integration into the Unity Editor as a package distinguishes it from generic cloud backend providers — developers configure in-game stores, manage content, run promotions, and define player segmentation directly within the tools they already use for game development. The platform covers in-game commerce and virtual item storefronts, A/B testing and player segmentation, content scheduling and live events, player inventory and economy management, announcements and notifications, and multiplayer tournament features. Beamable uses a server-side C# microservices architecture that lets developers extend platform capabilities using familiar Unity-ecosystem languages. The company targets Unity developers at small to mid-size studios building free-to-play mobile games, casual games, and mid-core titles that require live-service monetization and operations. Founded in 2019 as a spinout of a game studio, Beamable raised seed and Series A funding backed by investors including Makers Fund and BITKRAFT Ventures, competing with PlayFab (Microsoft) and GameSparks in the live game services space.

About

Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
