Investment Services

I've worked with the DDM team for several years now, which should tell you something. However, to be specific, they've been great in helping guide and assist my studios. Their understanding of the business of game development is deep. Their connections within the industry are second to none, giving them access to immensely useful, though carefully curated, information. Their dedication to small and medium-size developers is rare and immensely helpful. And they are genuinely interested in the creative growth of the medium. This is a rare, perhaps unparalleled combination of capabilities. I don't usually endorse organizations of any type but I strongly endorse DDM.

DDM played a pivotal role in guiding us through the intricate acquisition process of our game development company. Their expert guidance, industry knowledge, and strategic insights were indispensable. With their support, we navigated the complexities of negotiations and due diligence seamlessly. DDM's dedication to our success was evident at every step, leading to a successful acquisition.

We can highly recommend working with Maarten. His expertise, strategic guidance, and unwavering dedication was instrumental in helping us secure a successful acquisition. He helped us navigate through situations which could have resulted in a deadlock and always managed to generate win-win situations so that all parties involved were satisfied.

Working with DDM has been transformative for our business. From starting to pitch our new IP to eventually closing an investment round with our current investors. Their deep market knowledge coupled with their friendly and open approach makes them a trusty and standout partner. They've been instrumental in our business development, always ensuring a fair and mutually beneficial relationship with both publishers as investors. Highly recommended for anyone looking to level up in the digital entertainment sector.

Longtime DDM client Deck13 has recently been acquired by Focus Home, after having worked together since 2011 on award winning brands such as The Surge. Mathias Reichert, Managing Director at Deck13 relays, “I worked very close with Maarten and Martijn in the last few years to achieve our business targets. The impact on our growth has been phenomenal. So it was no question that we use DDM as advisors for our acquisition by Focus Home Entertainment SA.” DDM congratulates the fantastic teams at both Deck13 and Focus Home in achieving this major milestone!

We worked closely with DDM for several months on our raise. Through the whole process they brought industry insight and valuable perspectives to our business. They understood what we are accomplishing in Esports from day one. It all coalesced when they connected us to our lead investor. They were able to represent our vision throughout, from first discussions to finalizing the deal. We continue to collaborate and utilize their extensive breath of experience in the video game industry. They have become a valuable member of our extended team.  

DDM has been a critical and trusted advisor and facilitator for both the acquisition and funding aspects of our business. Their unmatched industry knowledge and extensive global network, combined with their ongoing effort to understand our business needs, ensures they not only bring high quality opportunities to the table, but also help see them through to completion. They are an invaluable resource for us as we grow our business.
