Quality advice, generous, available, attentive and caring. What more could you ask for?

Aurélien immediately grasped our video game and its challenges. The quality of his analysis, combined with his extensive experience, greatly helped us to identify and adopt the best strategy for our "FAJV" grant application. Aurélien's responsiveness and friendliness make him an ideal ally when it comes to providing support in the video game sector.

Aurélien is a highly committed professional.

Aurélien is one of the leading specialists in financing dossiers for the French and European video game industry. He is able to work on a wide range of public and private projects ("CIJV", "FAJV", Media Europe, "RIAM" etc.), with great flexibility and professionalism, adapting to indie as well as AAA studios, and at all phases of the production cycle. His experience was invaluable to us, enabling us to frame the work of our teams effectively and give us the benefit of hindsight and constructive alerts when we had our heads in the sand. Last but not least, he's passionate about JV and has an encyclopedic JV culture, a solid scientific background and an impressive network in France. I highly recommend him!

We contacted BigWhoop to help us with a number of issues. They were available, attentive and gave good advice, even on subjects that would not necessarily give rise to a service.
When it came to putting together a grant application, they were very efficient. It was easy to contact them and exchange ideas to improve content, pass on information and answer questions. The quality was top-notch, and we received good external feedback on the final product delivered by BigWhoop.
We'll be calling on them again in the future, and highly recommend them to support your projects.

Aurélien was invaluable in assisting me in my search for financing for my project. He was attentive and available, and knew how to highlight the strengths of the game. Many thanks again for this efficient collaboration!

Aurélien helped us with "CIJV" and "FAJV" applications and approvals for several of our games. He was efficient and responsive, and our accountant and I were able to rely on his professionalism and speed. I highly recommend his expertise.

Aurélien helped us to write a grant application, which we obtained thanks to his precious advice. He is efficient, quick, very available and above all, very caring. I will work with him again with great pleasure.

He is very competent in his field and will understand your project from start to finish (and even improve it) to make it coherent. I know I will work with Aurélien again in the future.

Aurélien was asked to proofread and advise on the preparation of "CIJV" and "FAJV" applications, and I highly recommend him for his speed, his excellent work and his good understanding of crowdfunding and transmedia in general.

We had a great experience with Mr. Mahieu, both on a professional and human level. In addition to being passionate and friendly, he is very committed to his profession and his expertise really helps young video game development studios to prepare themselves to obtain public aid, unlike firms that claim to be experts in the field and that only copy templates for us.

I therefore recommend Mr Aurélien Mahieu with great pleasure.

I met Aurélien Mahieu during my work at Ankama. He is a very professional, committed, conciliatory and patient person. He knows how to listen to and guide his interlocutors in a relevant way. He has a great deal of knowledge that he does not hesitate to put to good use, whether it is for a mission or to help the video game community. I highly recommend him, and will not hesitate to work with him again if I need to.

Aurélien was in charge of writing the two "CIJV" and "FAJV" application files for our next game, and fulfilled his mission brilliantly. He was able to write very clear documents in a very short time, thanks to his experience and his knowledge of the subject. His fresh look was also very beneficial for our project. Communication is his strong point, and always with a smile.
Go ahead without hesitation.

I contacted Aurélien at the beginning of the year to help us with our mobile game project in terms of public funding for video games. ("FAJV", "CIJV") We wanted to put as many chances as possible on our side and work with someone who understood our problems as a video game studio. I think that's one of the big advantages of working with Aurélien. When I spoke with him about the game, I immediately understood that I was not dealing with a simple public funds consultant but with someone who has real expertise in the sector. First of all, he has a real gaming culture as a player, but he also masters the business issues, whether it be gameplay, scenario, marketing or production.
Aurélien's other strong point is his perfect knowledge of the public funding environment, especially in the video game industry. For each funding institution, he knows the stakes, the key points of the file to be written, the important elements to put forward as well as the level of requirement on each part. In our situation, this was our first file of this type, so it was very reassuring for us to be able to trust his past experience on similar files.
Finally, personally I really enjoyed working with him. Despite the workload during the application period, he was always very available and educational, which was really appreciated during the rush. We felt supported in all phases of the process.
I would not hesitate to call on him again if necessary!

We have been working with Aurélien for several years on tax credit cases. The collaboration is ideal.
Aurelien knows the world of video game development and technical issues very well, has a great ability to listen and summarise, and knows how to deal with any financial or technical subject related to these files. Aurélien has a high standard of quality on the files he has been able to impose on us. He quickly gained the trust of the teams here.
Finally, Aurélien has the ability to adapt to our own time constraints and is very responsive.

Aurelien was highly recommended to us for the management of the funding applications to the CNC, and it goes without saying that the preparation of these applications would have been an endless headache without Aurelien's expertise. His experience, advice and guidance turned what was a long and arduous task into a relatively uncomplicated one. We plan to continue working with him on future grant applications.

Aurélien helped us greatly with the writing of the "FAJV" dossier, both in terms of the quality of the writing and the content.
He knows countless tricks, can use trends to steer dossiers, and thus considerably guarantees the chances of success of such a project. And that's without counting his advice on public financing to a greater extent. All with sympathy, responsiveness and openness.

Efficient, autonomous, friendly, good advice, working together is a pleasure!
We called on his services for a "CIJV" dossier. On my own, I would have spent a whole day on the file. In the end, I spent half a day in total, just enough time to pass on some information to Aurélien, and he took care of everything else. Result: file accepted. What more could you ask for!

I have personally worked with Aurélien on the submission of multiple applications, and particularly appreciated his ability to quickly understand the ins and outs of the script, game design, development, budget and schedule, while adapting the elements to the regulatory context imposed by the various aid schemes.

His extensive knowledge of video games allows him to be immediately operational on the concepts developed and to be a force of proposal on the grey areas of the 'dossier'. He is also a good project manager to bring together the various elements from different departments. In short, a great facilitator on subjects that are sometimes complex to move forward.

I had the pleasure of working with Aurélien and I would like to salute his professionalism, his rigour and the relevance of his advice. I wish to continue working with Aurelien and I highly recommend his expertise.
