Forge, Inc. is dedicated to making gaming more enjoyable and creating new mediums for players to share their gaming experiences. The company was founded by CEO Jared Kim, a pioneer of seamless video capture and social media integration and former founder of WeGame. WeGame was the first platform that enabled gamers to easily capture and share gaming videos online, and was acquired in 2011. Kim’s enduring dedication to building a better social experience for gaming is why Forge exists today. Forge is simple, easy-to-use, and enables everyday gamers to connect and share their moments with each other anywhere.
