At Clout Kitchen, we help unlock infinite scale for the world’s biggest creators through AI-powered, fan-first experiences — starting in video games.
Our first product is the viral Backseat AI, an in-game buddy for League of Legends featuring digital twins of your favorite streamers like Tyler1. Think Her, but for games. We’re driven by our mission to help today’s creators become icons that last, as well as our knack of building things we wish we had growing up.
We’re a young, venture-backed startup comprised of serial founders, operators, ex-pro players and creators — all avid gamers and pop culture enthusiasts at heart. We’ve built (and exited) companies, competed in esports world championships (yes, against Faker), and hosted some of the largest fan events across the globe.
Building across Los Angeles and Metro Manila, we’re supported by top investors like a16z SPEEDRUN, AppWorks, Kun Gao (founder of Crunchyroll), Gabby Dizon (founder of YGG), and Althea Lim (founder of Gushcloud).
🏆 Everyone Wins
We offer industry-leading compensation across both our offices. More importantly, all teammates receive stock in the company. That way, we all win together!
🤩 Part of the A-Team
Work with and learn alongside some of the best in the startup game — including veterans from Amazon, NVIDIA and Tencent.
🌎 Hybrid Team Environment
We value what in-person work enables while still being flexible. We prefer teammates near our Manila/LA pods and offer an allowance to cover office commutes thrice a week.
🎉 Work Hard, Vibe Hard
We grind hard to make the dream happen, but we also know how to kickback and have fun. We game, rave, and go to cons together!
🤗 All About People
We invest significantly into making the lives of our collaborators better. After all, both startups and the creator world are driven by people.
🔄 Iterate or Die
We don’t just get stuff done. We also do it fast, learn as we go, and improve with each take. Being 1% better every day adds up!
😍 Fandom-First
We approach everything we do with both a fan and creator lens. If what we’re thinking of doing doesn’t pass that vibe check, it’s a no-go.
🚀 Above and Beyond
We see job descriptions and task cards as basic markers to exceed. Everything is everyone’s problem as partners in the business.
📸 Big Picture Thinking
We dream big on how we can make our worlds better. We work backwards from that, versus building to chase metrics and targets.
