Mobvista, controlled by co-founders Duan Wei and Clement Cao via Seamless Technology Ltd., is working with a financial adviser to evaluate options including a potential sale of Mintegral, said the people, asking not to be identified because the deliberations are private. 

Considerations are preliminary and may not lead to any transaction, the people said. Other suitors for the business could also emerge, they added.

Representatives for Mobvista and Bain Capital declined to comment.
