Everything We Added SY 22/23
You did it! Another school year is in the books. 🎉
Here’s everything we added to Gimkit this school year thanks to your support and suggestions! 💜
Company Updates
Unparalleled Student Engagement
This year, we continued our focus on student engagement. We released 5 new game modes, added 2 new types of cosmetics, introduced dozens of new Gims, and released our biggest update ever, Gimkit Creative.
Strengthened our Team
We’re still a tiny, tight-knit group. We’re now 3 FT & 5 PT employees & contractors. In addition to Josh & Jeff, we have two designers, one developer, one group license processing specialist, and two dedicated support heroes.
GiveKit
Contributed $7,500 to teacher projects.
Carbon negative for 2023 & 2024
We offset our carbon for 2023 and 2024.
Still independent
Gimkit is 100% owned by Josh & Jeff. We’ve never taken investment capital and we aren’t ad-supported. That means we’re fully independent & fully supported by you, our amazing customers. Thank you so much! 💜
