About Simon Hade’s Current Company
Space Ape Games

Space Ape is an award winning mobile game studio in central London and founded in 2012. Since then our five games have been played by over 170m people, generated half a billion in revenue but we're just getting started. We are around 150 employees, from 30 different nationalities and diverse backgrounds united in a mission to make the world's next great game. In 2017 we partnered with Supercell (makers of Clash of Clans etc and part of Tencent) by way of majority acquisition. Our music game, Beatstar, reached #1 download in 24 countries and is the top grossing music game globally. With BILLIONS of song plays and millions of people discovering it each month Beatstar is an important new platform for music discovery with top artists releasing their songs in Beatstar on the same day, or in some cases before, they are dropped on streaming platforms. If country music is more your thing check out Country Star, a recent follow up to Beatstar that might be more your thing. Chrome Valley Customs brings an innovative twist to cater to a large underserved segment of the world's most successful game genre. Within the first two months it became the top grossing car game globally and we're just getting started. Space Ape was voted Best Game Developer, and Beatstar Game of the Year in the 2022 Pocket Gamer Mobile Game Awards in BAFTA London (April 2022). Its game lead Charmie Kim won Best Newcomer at the DEVELOP Awards (July 2022), and it was short listed as one of Google Play User Choice Awards (Dec 2021). Space Ape won Mobile Developer of the Year in the Pocket Gamer Awards (2023).
