Moon Active, an Israeli gaming startup and a unicorn is expanding its operations with the acquisition of the mobile game app Zen Match as well as some other apps from the Turkish firm Good Job Games. The acquisition terms were not revealed, but the deal is estimated to be worth as much as $150 million.
Moon Active certainly has the money to spend. The company first became a unicorn with a $300 million raise in November of 2021. And with signs pointing to an end of a high inflation period, people are looking for economies to pick up.
Founded in 2011, Moon Active boasts that it is one of the world’s fastest-growing mobile game companies and that it produces engaging entertainment that is enjoyed by players across the universe.
