hello! we’re kaimerra!

Our mission is to give users unprecedented power & flexibility
to connect and customize the digital spaces they inhabit.

  • We believe that...

    Most social spaces on the web are designed as walled gardens, intentionally encouraging people and their data to stay in one place.

    And it doesn’t need to be this way.

    Users should have as much agency as possible in shaping their digital experiences.

  • Our goals are...

    For Kaimerra to be an ever-expanding possibility space that complements and enhances the ways that users interact, communicate, and share.

    To allow users to build their own connections between games, social media platforms, and IRL spaces.

    To enable players to create, collaborate on, and customize experiences and accessibility features for the games that they love, coming together to build something bigger, better, and more inclusive.
