November 11, 2024

Airbnb didn't build houses. Uber didn't build cars. We're not building engines - we're building the future of gaming platforms.

Our Approach

Valroft Alliance is strategically built on proven open-source technology, enabling us to:

  • Focus 90% of capital on what matters: user acquisition and platform development
  • Go to market in 6 months instead of 2 years
  • Deploy across platforms seamlessly
  • Leverage a battle-tested engine that powers millions of gameplay hours

Core Value Creation

Our IP and competitive advantage lie in three areas:

1. Network Effects

  • Creator marketplace
  • Economic infrastructure
  • Cross-game asset compatibility
  • Community-owned content

2. Distribution Innovation

  • Mobile-first expansion
  • One-click game creation
  • Seamless Web3 onboarding
  • Brand partnership platform

3. Economic Layer

  • Creator revenue system
  • Tournament infrastructure
  • Marketplace mechanics
  • Token utility model

Market Parallels

  • Unity (IPO'd $13.7B): Built on open source, powers 50% of games
  • Roblox ($25B): Core engine isn't their moat, platform is
  • Steam ($10B+): Value from distribution, not proprietary tech

Capital Efficiency

By leveraging open source:

  • $2M does the work of $10M
  • 6-month runway becomes 18 months
  • Engineers focus on innovation, not maintenance
  • Faster path to product-market fit

Risk Mitigation

  • Proven tech reduces technical risk
  • Faster time to market reduces market risk
  • Lower burn rate reduces financial risk
  • Community support reduces maintenance risk
