Glow Up Games

Glow Up Games is founded in the belief of the narrative power of voices outside the mainstream. CEO Mitu Khandaker and CXO Latoya Peterson represent part of that unseen demographic in games – they’ve each built 15+ year careers in the gaming and media spaces respectively – but connected over the fact that as little brown-skinned girls who loved games, they never saw any heroes that looked like them, or any stories that were about them. They are now combining their passion and deep expertise in games, tech, and building audiences to change this for not only themselves but also, as founders and mothers, for the next generation, too. We build games and playful technology which centers Black and brown joy. We know that underrepresented audiences are hungry to see themselves and their stories in games, and, there is a huge opportunity to address this by inventing brand new forms of play across both existing and emergent platforms. We partner with diverse IP partners to build deeply authentic game experiences in a way that few other studios can, such as our flagship game, Insecure: The Come Up Game, in partnership with HBO. We’re also building our own original IP worlds in video games ranging from mobile to XR and beyond, steeped in our own cultural influences.
