Bringing studios, players, and communities closer together.
We're a fast, product-driven team with a passion for the things people love — on a quest to bring teams, their players, and their feedback closer together.
Our story.
We grew up in an era where we experienced the entirety of modern gaming. In the last few years, we watched enormous cultural and technological changes fracture traditional game development — indie studios launching world-class games, streaming producing a tidal wave of community commentary, and emerging tools letting teams service their games incredibly fast.
Players are more vocal than ever, and studios want to work alongside them. But between Reddit, Twitch, YouTube, Discord, and Steam, many teams receive millions of comments and are completely ill-equipped to handle it all. In 2025 we set out to make community managers' lives easier — and found a multitude of places where we could have a powerful impact on how products get made. Listening to your community matters more than ever, and it remains incredibly difficult. We're on a quest to solve that.
A founding team of two.
Huge ambitions to connect teams with their communities. We're extremely product-driven, and we work fast. We'll be hiring soon — add us on LinkedIn and let's stay in touch.
Britton Hennessy
Chief Executive OfficerA lifelong learner and jack of all trades. He spent his career across marketing, design, and UX for startups, eventually leading UX for virtual-restaurant tech alongside creator brands. He grew up snowboard racing and pitching in baseball, but after an injury found his calling in soccer. He now spends evenings playing indoor soccer and wrenching on his project cars. Proudest gaming achievement: once ranked #32 globally in Halo Wars 2 1v1s.
Keenan Nemetz
Chief Technology OfficerKeenan grew up in the Midwest, where there wasn't much to do except play games. The first was Super Mario Bros. — kicking off a lifelong obsession that became a career in software development. He's worn many hats at startups, experiencing first-hand the thrill and chaos of building something from nothing, and has launched and learned from solo ventures along the way. Proudest gaming achievement: self-publishing his own indie games.
Proudly bootstrapped and independent.
Kinn was realized out of the needs of studios and publishers worldwide. Our customers are the beating heart of our business, and we love to keep it that way. We're proud to have no VC investment — here to build great tools that are sustainable, profitable, and that foster an industry we believe in.
How we think about AI.
We won't hide from the reality that AI is a major success factor for Kinn. It's let us execute faster, go to market more smoothly, and build a product that wouldn't have been possible without it. AI has real strengths and real consequences — so it's our responsibility to build with craft and intention, so we can all succeed in this industry together.
We're just getting started.
