About FIRY
FIRY (NYSE: FIRY) is a founder-led global holding company built to fuel business potential. Through three independent and complementary businesses, FIRY operates at the intersection of content, identity, commerce, and performance marketing.
Founded in 2012 by serial entrepreneur Andrew Paradise, the company began as Skillz Inc. — inventing real-money skill-based mobile gaming from scratch and proving that fair and competitive play could be built into mobile games at scale. Fourteen years later, that foundation has grown into three distinct businesses:
- Skillz is the competition platform FIRY invented. Real-money skill-based gaming infrastructure, with 90M+ registered users, and the foundational source of first-party behavioral data across the portfolio.
- RZR is the AI-powered performance advertising platform, rebuilt from the ground up and rebranded in March 2026. Profitable for three consecutive quarters.
- Beamable is the backend and LiveOps infrastructure for game developers, acquired in 2026. One platform covering everything a studio needs to build, operate, and grow a live game.
FIRY is publicly traded on the NYSE and headquartered in Las Vegas, with hubs in San Francisco, New York City, and Bengaluru.
