Meet the DAMES
We’re building a tech-forward community where women and femme voices in gaming can learn, grow, and connect. Our mission goes beyond conversation. It’s about taking action, creating opportunities, and using technology to help drive real, lasting change.
Through mentorship, showcases, education, and community support, we’re creating intentional spaces where creativity can thrive and people feel genuinely seen, valued, and heard.
Our Values
Play BOLD
Showing up, celebrating wins, and opening doors for others. We champion creators, players, and innovators across every corner of gaming and tech. Through mentorship and showcases, we help emerging talent move forward and shine.
Game TOGETHER
Community is everything. We connect creators, developers, and supporters to build something bigger than ourselves. From showcases and workshops to collaborations, we create real spaces for connection and growth.
Dream LOUD
We believe in an industry as innovative and welcoming as the people within it. Imagining a future where representation is the norm, we center voices often overlooked, creating platforms where ideas flourish and talents grow.
Support THE MOVEMENT
Your support creates lasting change. Through donations, sponsorships, or collaboration, you empower women and femmes to pursue careers and build confidence in gaming and tech. Together, we build an inclusive, innovative industry.
