Matchmaking
You know who's attending, who's taking pitches, and what matters to your people. Iridae combines that with game intelligence, publisher histories, and a decade of market data.
The result weighs both sides, explains why a connection makes sense, and flags what needs a closer look.
How it's used
The same intelligence, delivered the way you need it.
Events & Conferences
Match attending developers and publishers on projects, interests, and mutual fit. Arrange more relevant meetings and help participants prepare.
By event size, matching needs, and support. For single events or recurring programs.
Consultants & Advisers
Pair what you know about publishers' interests with their portfolios, experience, and market position. Build better shortlists and probe concerns.
Project-based or ongoing, through a dedicated interface or MCP.
Platforms & Services
Combine the profiles and preferences you already manage with Iridae's game and publisher intelligence, through an API or MCP.
API usage pricing, with volume agreements for larger integrations.
Your knowledge
An organizer knows who's attending and how many meetings they can host. A consultant knows a publisher has shifted priorities. A platform holds profiles and past interactions. None of that is in public data.
Iridae works with the publishers, developers, projects, and preferences you bring.
It weighs what each side wants and offers against the evidence on fit. You can prioritize requirements, set constraints, and add what only you know. The aim isn't to replace your judgment, but to apply it where there are more connections than anyone can evaluate by hand.
Game intelligence
Two games can share a genre and feel completely different. Others look nothing alike yet share mechanics, audiences, and appeal.
Iridae places games in a continuous space of mechanics, themes, and player experience, built from more than 150 million multimodal observations: store positioning, player reviews, trailers, and screenshots.
A game doesn't need to be released to have a place in that space.
A pitch can be positioned among existing titles from its concept and materials, so fit with a publisher can be judged in detail early on. As the project changes, so does the match.
Explainable matches
A ranked list is useful. The reasons behind it are better.
Each recommendation shows what supports the match, what the concerns are, and what's missing. Where evidence is thin or preferences conflict, it says so.
For example
It's looking for games like this one. Its recent portfolio has mechanically similar titles, it has reached the relevant audience, and the production scale fits.
It weighs replayability heavily. The pitch covers the main campaign but says little about what keeps players engaged afterward.
The developer should prepare to explain replayability and long-term engagement.
Feedback loop
The reasoning comes with the recommendation. Review it, supply missing details, or adjust the priorities behind it.
A consultant may know a publisher's interests have changed. A platform may learn a match was unsuitable. That input feeds back into the matching, so recommendations improve as you learn more.
Market context
A decade of market history, including monthly unit-sales estimates, is mapped onto the same game space. You can see how related games have performed and how their markets have shifted.
Publisher histories add context: what they've selected, the audiences and scales they've worked with, and how their games performed against comparable titles. Deep experience may be years old; a smaller catalogue may be more relevant.
History doesn't show what a publisher wants today, or how much of a game's success it caused. It's one more source of evidence alongside what you know.
Outcomes
Match the people actually attending, make the most of limited meeting slots, and give both sides context beforehand.
Evaluate more possibilities without losing the judgment your advice depends on.
Offer better recommendations, explanations, and feedback loops without building the game intelligence yourself.
Results include evidence, preferences, risks, and open questions in a structured form, ready for your systems to present, filter, or act on.
A good match doesn't guarantee a deal. It gives both sides a reason to talk. Iridae helps you find those reasons and shows each side what to know before they meet.
