Since 2018, PortalOne has been laser-focused on its mission to converge the strengths of the games and TV industries to build an entirely new category of entertainment: hybrid games. Our unique product combines real-time gameplay with shows streamed directly inside the game, complemented by the stunning visuals of our retro-inspired PortalOne universe. This vision is enabled by our team of games industry experts from companies like King, IO Interactive, FunPlus, and Gameloft; Hollywood veterans from Warner Bros and the Matrix trilogy; and TV industry executives who’ve worked on shows like The Voice and Idol. This, paired with our extensive roster of world-class investors and advisors, empowers us in delivering this next generation of entertainment.

We want to increase the joy and value of playtime, and realize the full potential of immersive, gamified experiences to entertain, inspire, connect and develop people around the world. Our mission is to be the ultimate destination for hybrid games, in the same way that Netflix is for TV and film, and Spotify for music. In the future, PortalOne will host hundreds of games and shows in every category and genre, offering something for everyone to enjoy. In our early stages, our metrics have shown that we are significantly outperforming industry standards, and we're now looking to increase our velocity and supercharge growth.

Regardless of your role, department, or level, we focus on cultivating a supportive, team-oriented, and collaborative environment. The beauty of joining our team at this stage is that each department is currently relatively small, meaning that you will see your contribution have an impact on our products, and your work will directly influence the evolution of hybrid games!
