    The Story Behind Mashak

    Israel's game development industry is massive — 143+ companies, 14,000 developers, and over $10 billion in annual revenue. Israeli studios capture 5% of all global mobile game downloads and dominate 20%+ of the social casino market.

    Yet there's no single place that connects this thriving ecosystem. Facebook posts vanish in 24 hours. Discord messages get buried in an hour. Jobs are posted on LinkedIn in English only. And when you search "Israeli gamedev" — there are no Hebrew results.

    That gap is why Mashak exists. One home for Israel's game makers — in Hebrew, permanent, and built for this community.

    Mashak is open to all game creators — regardless of background, experience level, or studio size. If you make games, this is your home.
