At the start of the Beta release, Overwolf had 50,000 users. In September 2013, another $5.3 million was invested by Venture Capital Marker LLC. Overwolf was founded in 2010 by Uri Marchand, Gil Or, Alon Ranowitz and Nir Finkelstein with a cash seed investment from Joseph (Yossi) Vardi. Overwolf extensions sidestep this concern, since they do not interact with the game engine they operate exclusively on the overlay created by the main Overwolf program. The platform has gained traction in competitive video games, such as esports and MMORPGs, where native extensions are often forbidden due to concerns about cheating. Other extensions provide game-specific features that can remind users about certain in-game events, easing the game experience. The platform was created by Overwolf Ltd., and extensions are often focused on providing in-game services that would normally require a user to exit the game, such as the use of a web browser or an IM client. Overwolf is a software platform designed to help developers create extensions for video games, which are then offered to users through Overwolf's App Store.
