Estimated revenue
Approximately $1.5B-$2.0B annual gross revenue for the combined post-acquisition business, based on Tripledot’s 2025 announcement of nearly $2B; pre-acquisition third-party estimate was approximately $355.7M.
Completed the approximately $800 million acquisition of AppLovin’s mobile-games portfolio, including ten studios. The transaction was half cash and half equity; AppLovin became a 20% minority shareholder. The scale and integration create execution and organizational-complexity risk, although management said widespread layoffs were not expected.
