"While I was CEO at Gamebasics, there were several key moments where I benefited immensely from the advice from someone who has been in the trenches. This is why we created the Dutch Game Mentors network."

Jeroen Derwort

Chairman of the Dutch Games Association

"Our team has improved the production pipeline"

Ivan Khlyzov

Game Designer & Producer

"I can more easily get out of my comfort zone now, when it comes to my career."

Andreu Accensi

Undreamed Games

"We have a very good and healthy team right now. We also even managed to get a government subsidy last summer!"

Ravi

Inktvlek

"My mentor gave me many business related insights which I am implementing into my studio PlayGood Games. And thanks to our 'deadlines' he pushed me to complete and implement a free giveaway with an e-mail funnel on my website. The mentor programme forces me to schedule time for buzdev stuff for which I would otherwise find excuses! It's just great."

Maarten

playgood.games

"We have had several sessions so far and I even had the chance to visit the office which was a great experience. My mentor has been incredibly helpful."

Paolo Tomev

Associate Game Producer
