Joe Wadakethalakal and the price of finding an audience
Before co-founding PvX Partners, Joe Wadakethalakal built an Indonesian publisher and helped run a mobile gaming business. His next venture asks how founders can pay for growth without selling a piece of their future.
PvX Partners
PvX Partners is a Singapore-based fintech that provides non-dilutive user acquisition (UA) financing to mobile game studios and consumer app companies. Instead of equity or traditional debt, PvX funds a portion of a company's monthly marketing spend based on the historical performance of user cohorts, sharing downside risk if those cohorts underperform. Its financing is powered by Lambda, a proprietary machine-learning underwriting and intelligence platform, allowing profitable apps to scale user acquisition budgets without giving up ownership.
