$10M for a math-based game? All I’m saying is, degrees do matter.
we raised $10M to take Matiks from India to the world 🧠🌍
not long ago, it was just a few of us who believed mind sports could go mainstream. most people called it niche.
last month, 2.2M people played 48M brain games on Matiks. they could’ve kept scrolling, and they didn’t.
our longest streak has crossed 689 days. players run google meets to coach each other. one called us “the cure to my doomscrolling” and we still aren’t over it.
huge welcome to General Catalyst and Unilazer Ventures, and thank you Info Edge Ventures, Tanglin Venture Partners and Untitled Ventures for backing us again.
what’s next:
→ taking Matiks to the US
→ more games across math, memory, logic and puzzles
→ an AI engine so anyone can build a brain game millions can play
to Sudhanshu, Sushant, Mohan and the whole Matiks team: you took a simple idea and made millions fall in love with using their brains.
to our players: none of this exists without you. this one’s for you ❤️

i first started matiks when i had just rejoined twitter and everyone was talking about it.
i liked it, but for some reason my streaks kept breaking.
then i introduced it to my friends, and since then, it became a ritual to play it( the daily challenges) every day as soon as the clock hits 12 pm, and now im at 304 days.
it hasnt been perfect.
a few times i missed and paid money to restore my streak cause starting from scratch after 250 days would be a very humbling process, and i do not want to go through it.
seeing this app grow through sudhanshu’s eyes has been amazing.
congratulations to the whole team, heart is so happy and proud of you all 🫶
The internet made scrolling addictive. We think it can make thinking addictive too.
With Matiks, we're bringing the thrill of mental competition to everyone's phone. Math, memory, logic and puzzles, played against real people. A reason to open your phone and play, compete and connect instead of just scroll.
In September, 2.2M people played 48M games on Matiks.
Today, we're sharing that we've raised $10M, led by @generalcatalyst, with participation from @RonnieScrewvala and existing investors.
We're building towards a world where mind sports are as mainstream as physical sports and esports.
Maybe one day, solving puzzles will be as cool as playing cricket.

congratulations guyss, so well deserved
I personally love matiks, although I’m almost never consistent and always breaking streaks hehe.
I remember when we had just launched @DrinkQuenzy , we had collaborated with them for a party they were hosting, and ended up meeting the most grounded founders I’ve come across. @cortisoul_ @themohment @SushantTimmapur onwards and upwards 🚀

We are running 50% off on Matiks Pro💕
Even I’m a pro user now 😂

i wanna apologise that I wasn't very bullish on this company in the start.
but the way they've been executing and building is insane.
being able to pull this many users and growth is indeed a commendable.

incredibly proud of Sudhanshu and team for building and breaking but neverr stopping.
I remember talking to @sudhanshu when he was just getting started. We met and discussed how to build a distribution system. The best thing about him was, he was soo open to experimenting, failing and still being absolutely dedicated to his idea and vision.
feels like a personal win. congratulationss team.
π to π² super fastt

Sushant took his first vacation in 2 years this month Just 2 days.
Mohan is missing Diwali and Chhath Puja with his family
Again.
yesterday, we announced our $10M fundraise at Matiks
world sees the funding
I get to see what went into it
no funding announcement can ever capture what these two have given to @matiks_play
all I know is that if I had to start all over again, I'd choose them every single time <3

I was the 1st user of Matiks.
Saw it when it was just an idea. saw 2k users become 300k a day. Always believed in this team.
Now $10M and going to the world 🌍
So proud of us guys ❤️
Matiks has introduced a new platform for users to create games using AI.

met @cortisoul_ in my early days in bangalore.
he told me so much about what goes into building a startup here and the culture around in Bangalore (& even told where to find @kunalb11 )
then Matiks raised $5M
fast forward to now, and they’ve raised $10M
i have almost everybody around me who is associated with Matiks somehow hence i’ll be hearing about their growth every other day makes this feel like a personal win too
congratulations @SushantTimmapur @cortisoul_ @themohment

In the last BDSA Cohort at Ashoka in 2025, I made all participants download Matiks.
Super happy to see their progress!
India for the world! 🚀

"Let’s make thinking cool."
From just a theory back in 2023, that people would get tired of doom scrolling and want good dopamine instead, to a $10M raise today.
Quite a journey.
Way to go! Congrats @cortisoul_ and the @matiks_play team.

we met @cortisoul_ a couple of months before he raised his seed round last year. i remember feeling so convinced by him and matiks - there was something so magical in the games they were building and how people were connecting with them
it's been so incredible seeing sudhanshu grow as a founder, while matiks continues to grow and grow and grow. since we committed to invest, DAUs have grown over 50x to 300k+!!!
also v exciting to see friends at GC and Unilazer buy into the vision and im so ready for matiks and the team to conquer america baby
as a major hater and a math minor, feel v v grateful that the pre-eminent math company built out of india took our money
