Communix

Communix is an Israeli mobile gaming studio founded in 2018 by Or Ben Shimon, Idan Shriki, and Pavel Tishler. Headquartered in Tel Aviv, the company operates as a private entity. Its last publicly reported major funding milestone was a $30 million Series A round in March 2021, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners with participation from Aleph and other angel investors.

The company's flagship product is Poker Face, a free-to-play mobile multiplayer poker game. Unlike standard mobile poker applications, Poker Face integrates real-time group video chat directly into the gameplay interface, allowing up to five players to see and talk to each other while playing. The game monetizes primarily through in-app purchases (IAP) for virtual chips and cosmetics. From an engineering perspective, the company focuses on scaling low-latency synchronous video streaming alongside precise real-time game state management.
