The company plans to provide creators with an editor that includes UX templates, localization helpers and testing sandboxes so UGC can meet quality and accessibility standards before publication. ZeroDay's platform will also bundle analytics and moderation tools for publishers.

A focus for the raise is the creator economy: templated monetization flows, revenue-splitting contracts and storefront APIs designed to let creators ship experiences faster while ensuring consistent UX for players.

Publishers working with ZeroDay reported reduced moderation load and improved onboarding for creators, citing the built-in UI kits that promote consistent navigation and discoverability across user-made content.

Investors signaled enthusiasm for platforms that enable high-quality UGC while maintaining UX standards, an increasingly important leaky funnel for retention in live services.
