BetaDwarf

Friendshipping the world with co-op games. BetaDwarf is an ambitious venture company where we push the boundaries of co-op games to create lifelong friendships all around and across the world. We were joined by the illustrious London Venture Partners, Makers Fund, 1Up Ventures, and Everblue Management on a journey to becoming a front-runner in games that also attacks a society epidemic; loneliness. It all started in Copenhagen with a small group squatting in a university classroom for 7 months, getting discovered, and moving in together for 3 years. Through a kickstarter, a private bank loan, and perseverance we released FORCED, selling 500,000+ copies and since reaching millions of players with Minion Masters.
