I’ve been seeking Kumsal’s help for mentorship in the gaming industry and team management for a while. During my time with him, I find it especially helpful when he listens to me carefully and shares his advice willingly. Thanks to that, I’m confident in making better decisions. It’s actually rare to find someone of this calibre who has the experience and who can pass on the knowledge they have so seamlessly. I’ve been in luck having sought Kumsal’s and Viroid Games’ help.

As an artist and natural introvert, I understand the immense pressure of business-focused social interaction, but I also know that one meaningful conversation can open up a world of possibilities in someone’s career. Working with the team at Viroid Games has bolstered my networking confidence and helped prepare me for future connection opportunities as a recent graduate, and shown me that networking can be as enjoyable as it is important!

Viroid Games’ guidance on organizing my deck geared me up for a major pitch meeting, and their insights were invaluable. The way they helped structure my talking points not only made my presentation more coherent but also significantly boosted my confidence. I went into my pitch feeling prepared and capable, and I couldn’t have done it without their advice and supportive practice sessions.
