Dan Da Rocha | Co-founder & Studio Head at Jaw Drop Games on his roots in starting companies, shipping critically acclaimed titles and being acquired
Description
Today I'm speaking to Dan Da Rocha, a game creator who made QUBE, recently re-envisioned for its 10 year anniversary release.
Dan has worked in the industry for over 12 years and has been named on the Forbes under 30 in 2019 as well as being an avid industry speaker whilst growing a strong network of collaborators.
Dan currently runs Jaw Drop Games and has 2 projects being developed; Deathground, a dinosaur survival-horror game, and Gun Jam, a rhythm FPS game.
Jaw Drop has over 40 team members and Dan talks us through his career of high highs and some low lows along with important inflection points both through successes and failures that have helped develop and foster strong team culture.
Dan recently had one of his companies acquired by Curve digital and how teams may think about M&As with their own work.
