Investor Advisory Retainer

One game. One deal. A clear product risk read before you spend more.


You have a game deal on the table.

The deck may look clean. The founder may sound convincing. The product may have enough potential to keep the conversation alive.

But the real question is simple: is there an actual game business behind the pitch, or are you about to spend more time, attention, and capital on something that breaks the moment it meets players, ads, production, or scale?

Game Deal Review gives you a direct product-side read on one specific opportunity.

I review the pitch, build, prototype, gameplay materials, roadmap, available metrics, monetization depth, marketability, and team assumptions - then give you a clear view of what holds, what breaks, what needs verification, and what decision makes sense next.
When to bring me in
Game Deal Review is useful when the deal looks good enough to continue, but expensive enough to deserve a hard second look.

  • Deal looks good. Are you sure?

    I check whether there is a real game business behind the pitch - or just a clean story, a confident team, and a nice deck.

  • Founders love it. Will players care?
    I check whether there is a real audience, a clear hook, and actual player demand behind the idea.
  • Perfect game design? Let’s see.
    I check the core loop, onboarding, progression, GDD logic, retention drivers, and whether the game can engage players for the long term.
  • Strong team. Realistic plan?
    I check the team, roadmap, scope, hiring plan, production assumptions, and whether the promised product matches the team’s real capacity.
  • Nice metrics? Let's check
    I check the product and marketing numbers behind the story: what was measured, how it was measured, and what the team may be leaving out.
  • Follow-on or stop-loss?
    I check whether the opportunity deserves the next step - more meetings, deeper DD, follow-on capital - or whether it should be stopped before it burns more time and money.
How It Works
Request and NDA
You send a short request with the deal context. If sensitive materials are involved, we sign an NDA before decks, builds, metrics, or internal documents are shared.
Intro call and scope confirmation
We have a short call to understand the opportunity, the decision you are facing, available materials, and whether Game Deal Review is the right format.
Agreement and payment
Once the format is confirmed, we agree the scope, timeline, and payment terms. Work starts after the agreement is signed and payment terms are met.
Materials and review
You provide the agreed materials: pitch, build, gameplay video, roadmap, metrics, team context, or other relevant inputs. I review the opportunity from a product, marketability, execution, and scale-risk perspective.
Written conclusion and review call
You receive a written conclusion, then we go through it together on a final call: key risks, what holds, what needs verification, decision options, and recommended next step.
Output
You get two things: a written memo and a review call.

The memo is short Advanced Due Diligenceenough to be useful and clear enough to support the next decision.
It is a product-side conclusion on whether the opportunity is worth moving forward with, should be stopped, or requires specific proof before any further commitment.
  • Executive summary
    The short version of the conclusion: what I reviewed, what I found, and what it means for the deal.
  • Product assessment
    My read on the game itself: loop, onboarding, progression, monetization logic, marketability, roadmap, and team assumptions.
  • Key concerns
    The main issues that can affect the investment decision. Not a giant risk register — only the points that actually matter for this deal.
  • Verification points
    What must be clarified or proven before moving further: missing data, weak assumptions, unclear metrics, roadmap gaps, or team-capacity questions.
  • Recommendation
    A clear recommendation: move forward, stop, or continue only after specific proof is provided.
  • Review call
    A final call to walk through the memo, explain the logic, answer questions, and align on what the conclusion means for the deal.
Pricing
Starts from €3,000
Game Deal Review is priced as a focused one-off review for a single game opportunity.

The final price depends on the amount of material, urgency, and whether the case still fits the one-off review format.
If the case requires live-product analysis, multiple stakeholders, deeper metrics work, or external experts, I will recommend Advanced Due Diligence instead.
