Inkitt
We're building the Disney of the 21st century, creating blockbuster franchises across all media: from text, audiobooks, movies, to theme parks. Our success is most notable in e-books, where we are producing million-dollar hits every month through data-driven story selection and AI optimization. Our ecosystem includes three interconnected apps - Inkitt, a social reading/writing platform with half a million active authors and millions of readers, Galatea, which sells optimized stories chapter by chapter and GalateaTV, where we launch a new TV series weekly, transforming successful e-books into short-form TV series, selling episodes individually. AI-driven Hyper Personalisation is at the heart of our ecosystem, enabling us to adapt stories to individual preferences across all formats.
