Yume Interactive opens
A handful of small social games and community experiments.
SO, WHAT IS YUME?
A company built around play.
Yume Corporation started in 2014 as a tiny online entertainment studio. It kept growing because the things around the games — rewards, support, events and community tools — turned out to matter just as much as the games themselves.

Elias Crowe
Crowe founded Yume Interactive in 2014 and still leads Yume Corporation today. Company strategy, major acquisitions and new operating programmes remain under the Executive Office.
He is intentionally less visible than most of Yume's public-facing teams. Company communications are normally issued under the Yume Corporation name rather than through a personal profile.
“Build something people notice when it disappears.”
