What they do

Problem

Friends and indie game developers lack an easy way to play multiplayer games together with integrated social voice chat and without complex backend infrastructure.

Solution

Rune is a mobile app and game platform that combines voice chat with instant-play multiplayer games and provides an SDK for developers to build and launch multiplayer games without backend code.

Who it's for

Friend groups who play multiplayer games on mobile and game developers building multiplayer indie games.

Founders

Sanjay Guruprasad

Founder

Sanjay's been hacking away on a computer as far back as he can remember (perks of his mom and dad both being programmers). He studied Physics at IIT Madras and was working towards a PhD on Network Effects at MIT before dropping out to start Rune. Rune combines all his passions -- gaming, social networks and some hardcore Software engineering. Outside of work, Sanjay loves to run, bike, play the guitar and of course code some more / blog about coding :)
