We've always been interested in helping indie games, giving up-and-coming titles advice and support throughout their development, so when we learnt about GhostJam Games (Creators of 'Backseat Drivers') were looking for funding to help them over the finish line, it was a no-brainer for us to start up....

In short, we're aiming to help developers avoid predatory publishers and give indies incredibly fair deals to help them over the finish line. We do this by:
- Giving developers a big chunk of money, and only requesting money back in return; so no predatory revenue-sharing models!
- Only offering money and advice; to keep us focused on our current developments, and so these indies can develop their games their way.
