Matiks was founded in 2024 by Sudhanshu Bhatia, Sushant and Mohan.

Users can compete against friends, take part in daily challenges and track their progress.

Daily active users have more than doubled since June to over 300,000, and Matiks is seeing early traction in Japan, the US and South Korea. The company recently launched SNAC, an endless feed of single-player puzzles, which it says has contributed to longer user sessions.
The new capital will be used to expand internationally, develop new games and social experiences, and launch an AI-powered game creation engine that will enable users to create, publish and share their own brain games across multiple formats.
