Who are Mankibo?

Founded with a mission: what if there was a place that welcomed everyone, regardless of their background, physical condition, education, or experience? A place where people are treated with respect, compassion, and provided with a safe environment to have fun and create what they believe in—a fun game!

And so, here we are—a group of playful Manki, striving to make games accessible for everyone to enjoy. We may not be the best of the best, but together, let’s defy all odds. We hope to inspire other companies to do the same: to open more opportunities for people, regardless of their circumstances.

Founded Story

Back in March 2022, our founder, Boy Dozan, made the decision to leave the company he had built and nurtured for 7 years. Initially, he planned to explore opportunities as a professional. Unfortunately, no opportunities came his way, but from that experience, he discovered a new purpose.

He realized that most companies focus on becoming the best and only aim to hire superstars, leaving little room for ordinary individuals or people with special needs.

Inspired by this realization, Boy envisioned creating a great place for anyone who might not have had a chance elsewhere but possesses determination and potential. And so, Mankibo was born—a place where every “Manki” feels respected and empowered to showcase their capabilities and create fun games! Along with this mission, Mankibo also dreams of developing accessible games for everyone, because everyone deserves to having fun.
