Anke Kuipers
Anke Kuipers is the founder and director of Catching Games. Kuipers is fine artist from origin. She got interested in the phenomenon how games where taking over social aspects seen also in social media as facebook. Games can bring people together in a playful manner. Games have a goal that can become a shared goal. Creating bonds between people and environments that never met before. The endless possibilities that this ideology brings are what fascinate her most.

Her own interests in outer space let to the development of the massive multiplayer online strategy space game www.innebula.com. The game Innebula was launched in beta earlier this year.

From a business point of view Catching Games is rather refreshing within the Netherlands. It took the risk as a newbie to only dedicate itself to work on one game. Not only that Kuipers managed to gather all the needed financials her self.
