There are 18 million registered users on mobile gaming platform Skillz and the company says players collectively earn over $675,000 in prizes on average, every day.
Headquarters: San Francisco, CA Industry: e-sports, gaming, mobile, video gamesThe next time you're tempted to complain about your teenager's video gaming, think again. San Francisco-based Skillz runs about 2 million tournaments a day that feature online games such as solitaire, mahjong, and sports-related mobile titles. Users can compete in both informal and formal tournaments to earn cash prizes, so even amateurs can get a taste of the competitive gaming scene.
Skillz is also taking on a larger role in the community. Last year it launched the largest mobile e-sports charity tournament, raising $100,000 for the Susan G. Komen breast cancer organization. Over half of Skillz players are women, a percentage that is consistent with the growth of women in the e-sports industry worldwide.
