Company Birth Story
E-PAL was created by a team of avid gamers, who recognized the impact of the global lockdowns during the 2020 pandemic. They observed that people's social lives were on hold, and as gamers themselves, they understood the value of gaming as a social outlet. Furthermore, they realized that as gamers grow older and face the responsibilities of adulthood, gaming with real-life friends becomes increasingly challenging. Additionally, the pressures and anxieties of the real world can further impede social gaming experiences. Thus, the E-PAL team set out to build a bridge - a platform that connects gamers from all around the world, enabling them to enjoy their hobbies together, regardless of their physical location. With a mission to foster a vibrant global gaming community, E-PAL is a passion project brought to life by gamers, for gamers.
The Solution
The E-PAL community has two roles: ePals and Gamers. ePal is a group of passionate gamers who enjoy providing companionship to others. They are reviewed by the platform, they share about themselves, and they provide both free and paid companionship services to everyone. Gamers can choose to play with an ePal, or sign up as one to help others too.
The cornerstone of the E-PAL community is companionship. E-PAL has helped more than a million gamers to find friends, coaches or even soul mates through games, voice chat and community connections. This impressive result is achieved with the help of more than 170 thousand ePals from all over the world, providing service and companionship to people in need. They are the pioneers of this industry, and they built this community.
E-PAL aims to become one of the largest gaming hubs in the world. E-PAL wants to provide genuine connections to all while also helping ePals to support themselves for the services and time they provide. This is a bumpy ride, but it is a ride everyone at E-PAL community will have together.
A Customer Story
I found E-PAL after I had to quit my job during the pandemic because of medical reasons. I am very grateful with E-PAL because it allowed me to work from home doing something I enjoy which is gaming. What I like the most about E-PAL is that I met people from very different backgrounds and cultures. It allowed me to improve my English and to make friends from very different places, even from countries that I never heard before. E-PAL helped me to improve my confidence when talking to others, especially in another language.
It warms my heart to think that now I have friends all over the world, and no matter how far we are from each other we have many things in common, and I am lucky to share their company by playing, watching movies and sometimes just talking.”
