Skillz Inc.

A mobile gaming technology company whose platform lets developers add skill-based tournaments to their own games — popular titles like Solitaire Cube and Blackout Bingo run on it, with players competing for cash prizes. Founded in 2012 by Andrew Paradise and Casey Chafkin, the company launched in stealth under the name Lookout Gaming before rebranding to Skillz, a name chosen to reflect its focus on fair, skill-based competition rather than games of chance.
