Firy Inc Dossier
Qualitative Analysis
Business overview
Firy Inc. (formerly known as Skillz Inc. until its corporate rebrand in June 2026) operates a leading two-sided mobile gaming and performance marketing platform. The company operates through two primary segments: Skillz and RZR. The core Skillz segment provides a platform that enables game developers to monetize their content through multi-player competition by integrating real-money tournaments, virtual prizes, and social competition features directly into mobile games. The RZR segment (built on the Aarki acquisition) is an AI-powered performance marketing platform that enables advertisers to acquire, retain, and monetize users across mobile, connected television (CTV), and other digital channels. Additionally, the company leverages Beamable to provide backend and live-operations infrastructure for developers.
