Funding

AI game app Aippy spins off from Chuzitek at $250M valuation

August 18, 2026

Valuation

$250M

It's the latest entrant in a fast-forming race among AI game-creation apps, as rivals like Astrocade and Loopit also chase capital for the same format.

  • Aippy, the AI-generated mobile game community incubated by Hong Kong-listed Chuzitek (赤子城科技), raised tens of millions of dollars in its first outside funding round, led by Glowill Capital at a $250M post-money valuation.
  • The app lets users type a natural-language description and get a playable game in minutes, then swipe through others' creations like a TikTok feed and remix any game with one tap.
  • The raise coincided with Aippy's holding entity, NADA AI, being formally carved out of Chuzitek's consolidated financial statements, turning an internal AI project into a standalone startup.
  • Aippy has topped 3 million global downloads and nearly 2 million monthly active users, holds a 4.8-star US App Store rating, and hosts over 2 million user-generated games.
  • The new funding will go primarily toward hiring senior AI and product talent and scaling user growth in the US and European markets.
  • Aippy's raise lands amid a broader 2026 funding wave for AI game-generation apps, with rivals Rezona, Sekai, and Astrocade also closing rounds as investors bet on swipeable, AI-made games.
  • Separating from a listed parent lets Aippy raise dedicated capital and offer equity incentives to compete in a crowded new category, while giving Chuzitek a clean AI bet outside its core social and gaming reporting.
