Brain games startup Matiks raises $10 million in funding from General Catalyst, plans US push

Bengaluru-based social gaming startup Matiks has raised $10 million (Rs 95.1 crore) in a pre-Series A funding round led by General Catalyst. The two-year-old startup runs a platform where users play and compete in games built around mathematics, memory, logic and puzzles.

upGrad founder Ronnie Screwvala also joined the round, along with existing investors Info Edge Ventures, Tanglin Venture Partners and Untitled Ventures. 

The new round is roughly three times the size of the $3.14 million pre-Series A round Matiks raised in August 2025. With this round, the startup has raised more than $13.5 million in funding so far.

Matiks said it will use the capital to expand internationally, build new games and social experiences, and increase spending on engineering, AI, product, design, game development and growth. It will also scale creator partnerships and global distribution.

A part of the funds will go into an AI-powered game creation engine that will let users build, publish and share brain games in several formats without writing code.

The startup expects user-generated games to widen the range of titles on the platform. It has already launched an experimental version of this, called Jelo, which reportedly competes with tools such as Google's Playground.

It plans to prioritise the US before entering other tier-one markets. Most of its players are in India, but it has seen early engagement in Japan, the US and South Korea, and reportedly plans to localise the app for the Korean and Japanese markets.

“ We started Matiks with a simple belief: using your brain can be just as fun and addictive as any other form of entertainment, ” said Sudhanshu Bhatia, co-founder and CEO of Matiks.
