    <p dir="ltr">Since 2018, PortalOne has been laser-focused on its mission to converge the strengths of the games and TV industries to build an entirely new category: hybrid games. To succeed in forging this new category of entertainment, we've built a team of experts from around the world, including Hollywood veterans from Warner Bros. and the Matrix trilogy, to leaders from shows like The Voice, Idol, and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. This, paired with our extensive roster of world-class investors, advisors, and games industry professionals, empowers us in delivering this next generation of entertainment.</p><p dir="ltr">We want to increase the joy and value of playtime, and realize the full potential of immersive, gamified experiences to entertain, inspire, connect and develop people around the world. Our mission is to be the ultimate destination for hybrid games, in the same way that Netflix is for TV and film, and Spotify for music. In the future, PortalOne will host hundreds of games and shows in every category and genre, offering something for everyone to enjoy. In our early stages, our metrics have shown that we are significantly outperforming industry standards, and we're now looking to increase our velocity and supercharge growth.</p><p dir="ltr">Regardless of your role, department, or level, we focus on cultivating a supportive, team-oriented, and collaborative environment.

If they’re successful, they have a chance at winning a real cash prize!
