Launched in 2006, Palringo has 80 million accounts worldwide and offers a range of games along with more than 380,000 groups, some of which have up to 2,500 members.[3][4] Headquartered in London, Palringo has offices in Newcastle and London in the UK, and Amman in Jordan.[3] As of March 2015, the company had revenues of $14 million in 2014, up 100% from $7 million in 2013. [5] The company has also been recognised by The Sunday Times Tech Track 100 2015, the measurement of the UK's fastest growing tech companies where it was placed 7th out of 100 companies. [6] Palringo has also been shortlisted in the Innovation Of A Business Model and Social & Entertainment categories of the prestigious 2015 Meffys awards.[7] History{{expand section|more detailed description of this software's features|date=August 2014}}Palringo was founded in Newcastle in 2006 by 21-year-old engineering student, Martin Rosinski, who developed it as a communications tool for his father's engineering company to help engineers resolve problems in the field. When problems were detected it enabled affected parties to communicate with each other. In August 2006, Northstar Ventures got involved and a seed of £650,000 was raised to help build a user base.[1][3] In 2010, Palringo launched an enterprise version of the app, offering companies private group communication networks, with notable clients including Smartlogic and 3M. In the past, Palringo was also available on now-legacy platforms including Windows Mobile, Symbian OS, and BlackBerry OS.[8] ExpansionIn August 2012, Palringo began a shift away from the B2B market towards the consumer community, where users were forming groups with particular interests, with a specific focus on games. The business model entails selling virtual products such as rich media sticker packs, Bots and functional utilities.[9][10] In May 2014, Palringo acquired Swedish games developer Free Lunch Design (FLD), who previously worked with Disney, Paramount and Marvel, with a view to integrating Palringo's instant messaging technology into community-orientated games.[11] In September 2014, the company reiterated its strategy on combining games and instant messaging by focusing on adding gaming capabilities on top of an already existing messaging platform.[4] In May 2015, Palringo continued to expand by acquiring Finnish chat games developer Tribe Studios, best known for its patented Dramagame technology, which it uses to develop multiplayer role-playing games.[12] CharityIn 2013, the company launched a charitable initiative aimed at their users in the Gulf region during the month of Ramadan, which enabled users to donate Palringo credits through a special charity Bot. They raised over US $230,000 for Charity Right and Islamic Relief.[13] In 2014, they ran the campaign again but this time opened it up their entire user base by adding Child's Play, a charity aimed at providing video game entertainment to sick children in hospital. In total, more than $235,000 was raised. [14] During Ramadan in 2015, Palringo raised more than $300,000 from its gaming community to be split between Action Against Hunger and Islamic Relief Worldwide. [15] For 2016, the company’s Ramadan charity campaign was ‘Heroes Against Hunger’, in which they released a new game bot to raise funds to protect against various disasters. The total raised was $207,000. [16] There was a fishing game theme for Palringo’s 2017 charity event, wherein users donated in order to try to catch limited edition ‘freaks of nature fish’. The charities continued to be Action Against Hunger and Islamic Relief Worldwide, and the total raised was around $160,000. [17] In 2018, the theme was ‘Hunt For Hunger’. The company created a brand new bot based on a hunting game with limited edition ‘desert birds’ just for the Ramadan period. The amount raised was around $150,000.
