About The Company

We believe every author should have an equal opportunity to succeed. Therefore, our mission is to discover hidden talents and turn them into globally successful authors.


Inkitt is a pioneer at the forefront of Data Driven Publishing. Using an analytic and objective approach, we’ve discovered hundreds of talented authors around the world with over 50% of our published authors achieving $100,000+ in sales. We have forever changed the traditional publishing model by inventing an algorithm which analyzes users' reading behavior to identify hits, in turn removing subjectivity from the equation. This gives Inkitt the unique ability to discover hidden talents that might otherwise have gone unnoticed.


Hits that are identified by our algorithm, are then licensed to and distributed on our Galatea app where we systematically generate blockbusters by A/B testing the content of our stories. This process is our own unique creation, and something which has never before been done in the entertainment industry. 


At present, we are an international team of 85 passionate and dedicated inventors and entrepreneurs and we are growing quickly. We are proud that our mission has persuaded early investors in Google and Spotify to back us, as well as attracted talents from Netflix, Activision Blizzard, DeliveryHero, Babbel, and N26 to join us.


We invent new solutions to problems we encounter, as opposed to simply iterating upon existing solutions. 


Join us to build the Disney of the 21st Century!
