In 2012, Segalla founded Tilting Point, a free-to-play (F2P) games publisher. The company has grown to include over 80 game titles and employs more than 200 staff members worldwide.[7] In 2016, Tilting Point launched its first user acquisition fund, known as Game Alliance, initially valued at $12 million. This fund was designed to help independent game developers scale their user acquisition efforts.[8] In 2018, the company expanded the user acquisition fund to $132 million.[9] By 2021, Tilting Point raised $235 million to support further expansion into new markets and company acquisitions.[10]

In 2006, Segalla co-founded the Connecticut Film Center with Hollywood producer Bruce Heller.[11] The Connecticut Film Center provides support services to the motion picture and television industry and has been instrumental in establishing Connecticut as a viable location for film production.[12]
