100 MILLION PLAYERS. ONE ATTIC ROOM. ZERO EXPERIENCE.
How does a teenage nerd from a Dutch attic build a global gaming empire?
Jeroen Derwort was just a teenager when he wrote the first lines of code for Online Soccer Manager (OSM). He wasn't looking for fame or fortune; he just wanted to let football fans step into the shoes of their heroes.
He didn't know he was about to trigger a global obsession.
SCORE! is the candid, high-octane account of a startup that exploded from a hobby project into a tech titan. This isn't your typical polished corporate biography. It is a raw, unfiltered look at the chaos, the mistakes, and the massive wins that happen when a passion project hits the big leagues.
Inside this book, you'll discover the behind-the-scenes reality of:
The David vs. Goliath Battles: How a small Dutch team went toe-to-toe with industry giants like SEGA and Zynga.
The Digital Wild West: Fighting off digital hooligans and navigating the cutthroat world of global gaming.
The Boardroom Clashes: Negotiating with the world's biggest football clubs to secure licenses and survive.
The Founder's Evolution: The personal journey of a shy coder who had to transform into a leader, negotiator, and CEO in the Champions League of business.
Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur, a die-hard football fan, or a gamer who grew up with OSM, SCORE! offers a masterclass in scaling a business without losing your soul.
Stop dreaming about the big leagues. Start playing in them.
A must-read for anyone who wants to know what it's really like to build a global startup from scratch.
