Sanad Kiswani

Sanad Kiswani is Co-Founder of Playabl.ai (YC S26), a prompt-to-play AI game builder that lets anyone create playable games simply by chatting with AI. He operates at the intersection of AI, game engines, and systems design, driven by a belief that technology can create opportunity for those who were never given one.
While still at university, Sanad built two six-figure revenue-generating companies and previously scaled ARR 10x at B12App, while also growing a university program at Al Hussein Technical University from 90 to 320+ students per intake, generating $1.7M+ in its first year.
Sanad's journey began with hacking AAA games and building viral game mods, giving him a deep technical foundation in game engines and agentic AI systems. His passion for democratizing game creation now powers Playabl.ai's mission to make game development accessible to everyone.
Prior to Playabl.ai, Sanad co-founded NeonRain, a game modding platform that attracted millions of players, generated $1.3M+ in revenue with zero marketing spend, and drove content that amassed over 5 billion views. These ventures established him as a serial entrepreneur with a strong track record in gaming and consumer tech.
Playabl.ai, backed by Y Combinator (Spring 2026 batch), grew from 100 to 10,000+ users in its first week of beta and reached 40,000 users within a month. The platform supports cross-game asset creation across major titles including God of War, Minecraft, Skyrim, and Elden Ring.
