\n\tGaming company Lil Snack<\/a> has tapped Scopely and Supercell alum Bill Kang<\/a> as its new chief operating officer.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince launching three years ago, Lil Snack now operates more than 20 daily games across platforms including Netflix, Peacock and Reddit, and has seen engagement grow 500% year over year, surpassing hundreds of millions of plays. Kang joins the company following its more than $8 million in funding last year from investors including a16z, Lerer Hippeau and Waverley Capital. Hasbro is also a partner and minority investor in Lil Snack.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs COO, Kang will lead operations and commercial strategy, \u201cscaling the engine that ships new games daily while deepening and expanding Lil Snack\u2019s partnerships across streaming, publishing, and other consumer platforms,\u201d per the company.<\/p>\n

\n\tKang joins Lil Snack after 12 years at Supercell, the Finnish mobile gaming developer behind \u201cClash of Clans\u201d and \u201cBrawl Stars.\u201d Previously he worked at Scopely alongside other members of the Lil Snack founding team.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBill is one of the most respected operators in mobile gaming, and his decision to join us says everything about where the industry is heading,\u201d Lil Snack co-founder and CEO Eric Berman said. \u201cOur mission is to bring bite-sized play to the world. Bill\u2019s experience scaling global, multi-billion-dollar game companies is exactly the rocket fuel we need to capture the massive opportunity in front of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBill and I first crossed paths in the earliest days of Scopely,\u201d Lil Snack Co-Founder Travis Chen said. \u201cWorking together again \u2014 now on the opposite end of the games spectrum, building small daily experiences instead of forever games \u2014 feels like a full-circle moment for both of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAt Supercell and Scopely, we focused on building games that could delight and retain players for a decade,\u201d Kang said. \u201cLil Snack inverts that model: instead of asking people to find our games, we bring play to where people already are \u2014 bite-sized daily habits woven into the platforms they love, driving real engagement for our partners. Scaling that engine is the exact kind of puzzle I love to solve.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gaming company Lil Snack has tapped Scopely and Supercell alum Bill Kang as its new chief operating officer.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":554337,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[251605,85,46,251606,125],"class_list":["post-554336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-bill-kang","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-lil-snack","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=554336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/554337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=554336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=554336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=554336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
