About Us
Pragma's mission is to support healthy and vibrant online communities.
Our story
After over a decade working on some of the world's biggest games, we set out to build our own. We quickly realized how difficult it is—even for experienced teams—to create an online social game. The process is time-consuming, complex, and often cost-prohibitive.
As a result, many games struggle to scale, fail to build live service pipelines, or avoid multiplayer altogether. Others overspend trying to develop both a compelling game and a scalable platform at the same time.
We've all been playing games our whole lives, and we realize that the two most impactful things about games are the stories that are told and the community that is built around the most enduring games. We hope to one day unlock millions of new great stories that we can enjoy with our friends.
Company leadership
We're a fully remote team that has helped build some of the biggest video games and distributed systems in the world at Riot Games, PopCap, Google, Amazon, and EA.
