The Differentiator

I'm not a "business guy" trying to enter gaming. I'm a gamer, audio engineer, and content creator who also understands business. This combination doesn't exist in any other Syrian candidate.

🤝 Path to Partnership/Ownership

Year 1: Prove the Model

  • Compensation: Salary + 20-25% Revenue Share
  • Commitment: Break even financially
  • Deliverables: 2-3 localized games, media coverage, team built

Year 2: Equity Discussion

  • Milestone Review: If targets exceeded, discuss ownership stake
  • Goal: MediaVerse becomes most profitable floor
  • Path: Performance-based equity begins

Year 3+: Full Partnership

  • Status: Partner/Co-owner (% based on contribution)
  • Reality: I deserve this after proving profitability
  • Vision: Damascus Games = TechTown's crown jewel

Why Equity Makes Sense

Localization = Easy: Hire a translator. Low margin.
Gaming Studio = Hard: Requires vision, expertise, connections, creative leadership, cultural credibility, and years of commitment.

Salary-only operators leave when better offers come. Partners stay and build.

🚀 The Ask

This isn't just about "running a floor."
It's about establishing Syria's first AAA gaming studio,
making MediaVerse TechTown's most profitable division,
and building something internationally recognized.

I'm not asking for a job. I'm proposing a partnership where:

Jordan proved it works with Tamatem.
Syria can do it better with Damascus Games.
Let's make this happen.
