Smart matchmaking for gamers

Rune’s friend-finding AI instantly finds players the perfect teammate and connects them via voice chat. Through the chat, players can form friendships and share laughs as they game together. So far, players have spent over 75 million minutes together on Rune's voice chat and have formed friendships across 100+ countries. With an explosion in multiplayer mobile games, Rune is rapidly becoming the place where the next generation of gamers hang out, make friends, and share experiences.

"In an exponentially growing gaming industry, riddled by trolls and toxic behavior, Rune allows gamers to find their tribe online, using artificial intelligence. Having both AI experts, such as Danny Lange, and gaming unicorn founders, like David Helgason, on-hand in our Collective, investing in Sanjay and Bjarke was a no-brainer for us. We are so excited to enable them to help friendship flourish online."
