Founders

Hamza Al-Ali
Founder & CEO

Founder & CEO of Playabl.ai (YC P26), building a prompt-to-play AI game builder that turns ideas into playable games. Previously co-founded NeonRain, where we built a modding platform used by millions of players, generated $1.3m+ in revenue with zero marketing spend, and drove content with 5B+ views. Before that, scaled ARR 10x at B12App and grew a university program at Al Hussein Technical University from ~90 to 320+ students per intake, generating $1.7m+ in its first year.

Omar Jarrah
Founder

I believe technology can be a powerful force for building a better world and creating opportunity for those who were never given one. While still at university, I built two six-figure revenue-generating companies, including a game modding business, and I’m now building Playabl.ai (YC P26), a platform that allows anyone to create games simply by chatting with AI.

Sanad Kiswani
Founder

From hacking AAA games and building viral mods to creating agentic AI that lets anyone build playable games with a prompt. I live at the intersection of AI, game engines, and systems design!
