Ratic

Ratic positions itself as a technology provider for the gaming industry, focusing on enhancing player engagement and creating new revenue streams for game developers. The company was established in 2022 by founder Ersel Rıdvan Ekmen, with Ali Dursun serving as CEO. Based in Lewes, Delaware, Ratic operates within the Business/Productivity Software and Entertainment Software sectors.

The core of Ratic's offering is a white-label tournament API, packaged as the "Ratic Kit". This tool allows developers to integrate competitive, real-cash tournaments directly into their mobile games. The business model targets game developers by providing a straightforward method to introduce in-game competitions, thereby aiming to increase player retention and activity. Revenue generation for developers is facilitated through player-paid tournament tickets or by securing brand sponsorships for prize pools. Ratic's model appears to be a partnership approach, as it emphasizes no upfront or annual fees for developers to begin using the service.

In January 2023, the company announced the completion of a pre-seed funding round, achieving a post-money valuation of $5.27 million. This investment round included participation from the İnce Family, OXO Finance, and angel investor Alpcan Erdogan. The stated use of these funds was to expand the technical team and further the development of the Ratic Kit and an associated Ratic Launcher super-app. Despite its early-stage funding success and product development, company data from mid-2025 indicates that Ratic is now out of business as of August 2024.
