About

The platform already has more than 3,500 interactive games produced by a nearly all-female creator community that embraces respect and inclusivity. The platform is breaking down distribution and monetization barriers facing millions of fiction writers today, allowing writers to forge direct relationships with passionate fans and make money in a fast-growing game format. In the short time since the platform enabled monetization, some creators are already earning more than $15,000 in annualized revenue directly from their fans.“The expression of creative energy on our platform in the last twelve months has been incredible,” said Julia Palatovska, co-founder and CEO, Dorian. Dorian’s data shows that the platform is realizing its mission to pave the way for female game creators and streamers to reach and engage audiences in unprecedented ways. Recently, the company partnered with Lionsgate to launch The Blair Witch franchise on Dorian, prompting fans to build their own interactive games based on the bestselling IP. The company is being proactive in hiring talent from Ukraine who fled the country or want to relocate once it is possible. The firm has offices in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Shanghai, and Mumbai.
