Press Release

Hoora offers a unique experience: a mobile app where users simply scroll to instantly discover thousands of games — no downloads, no waiting. With a single gesture, users access a continuous feed of games designed for a fast, smooth, and accessible experience, capable of entertaining anywhere, anytime.

In a global mobile gaming market estimated at over $90 billion, Hoora stands out as an alternative to the traditional download modelwhich has remained unchanged for more than fifteen years. By combining instant access, diversity, and continuous discovery, the platform brings mobile gaming into a new era.

Deployed in test mode across several European markets — France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Switzerland — the app shows record performance, with a user acquisition cost well below market standards. This traction confirms both the relevance of the concept and the strength of its positioning among young audiences.

“Our technology allows us to offer an experience that matches mobile habits: fast, smooth, and frictionless ” explains Flavien Marianacci, co-founder and CTO of Hoora. “We designed Hoora so that each game launches instantly, redefining how people play on mobile.”

This funding round, which brings together investment funds, entrepreneurs, and key figures from the influencer scene, will support the platform’s acceleration and the development of new social and community features. This prestigious round reflects the confidence placed in Hoora and marks a significant step in its growth and ambition to reshape the mobile gaming experience.

“Hoora is not just a gaming app; it’s a new entertainment format — one for a generation that scrolls more than it downloads,” emphasizes Romain Mussault, founder and CEO of Hoora. “This fundraising allows us to accelerate our development and strengthen our growth in Europe before tackling the U.S. market, where our initial tests are already very promising.”

In the long term, Hoora aims to build a sustainable economic model, inspired by Spotifywhere developers can publish their games and generate revenue. This approach seeks to create a virtuous ecosystem, beneficial for both creators and players, while rethinking mobile game monetization.

This fundraising marks a new step for Hoora, which continues its mission: to reinvent the way the world discovers, plays, and shares mobile games.
