About Kohort
Kohort is the leading machine learning platform for mobile gaming user acquisition. We provide game studios investment-grade LTV predictions, using petabyte-scale data and ML Ops.
We are a group of gaming and data experts from King, Sensor Tower, Tripledot, Bloomberg and Football Radar. Our clients range from large, listed game developers and publishers, to up and coming start-ups building at the cutting edge of mobile gaming.
We add value to customers by helping them optimize UA spend on a day to day basis, and then creating budget and financial plans to accomplish strategic finance goals - from VC raises to IPO prep.
