Early Life
Born in China, Huang Yimeng's early interest in web programming laid the groundwork for his future entrepreneurial pursuits. He attended university but left early to focus on his ventures. This decision allowed him to dedicate more time to developing his online gaming projects.
Rise to Success
Huang's career took off with the rise of mobile gaming in China. He recognized the need for a community-driven platform and founded TapTap in 2016. This platform quickly gained traction, attracting both game developers and gamers. His company, XD Inc., became known for publishing small independent games, and XD was among the first to receive a license after China lifted a freeze on gaming approvals.
Key Business Strategies
XD Inc.'s success can be attributed to its focus on independent games and its platform, TapTap, which bypasses the traditional app stores. Huang's strategy mirrored that of Epic Games, attracting users to the store by offering a favorable revenue split to developers, thus gaining exposure for its games. The company generates revenue from selling virtual items within its games.
