GameOn
2014 - 2024, 11 years old
A sports-focused AI chatbot platform that powered fan conversations for the NBA, Arsenal, and the Las Vegas Raiders.
GameOn raised what investors believed was around $35 million in disclosed funding, including a 2022 Series B, to build conversational agents that sports teams and leagues could deploy across messaging apps. CEO Alexander Beckman resigned on July 1, 2024, and ten days later the company disclosed that its financial statements had been fraudulent for years and laid off nearly all of its roughly 60 staff. In January 2025 Beckman and his wife Valerie Lau Beckman were indicted on 23 and 16 counts respectively, with prosecutors alleging more than $60 million was raised through forged audits and fake bank statements and spent on a Tesla, real estate, and a lavish wedding. The product went dark with the layoffs in July 2024.
