Lior Shiff, Akin Babayigit and Eyal Chameides are the trio behind Tripledot Studios, a London-based mobile games company established in 2017. Before founding Tripledot, Shiff and Chameides had experience in gaming and tech (including social-casino games) and Babayigit brought senior experience from companies like Facebook and King. Their ambition was to build a data-driven studio focused on casual and puzzle mobile games, leveraging lean teams, live operations and analytics rather than huge upfront budgets. Their biggest hit so far has been Woodoku, a wooden block game not unlike Tetris. Under their leadership, the company expanded internationally, opened multiple offices and crossed 400+ employees in a few years. A 2022 fundraising put a value of £1.1bn on the London-based firm.
