About Maslow Six

Maslow Six Entertainment, Inc. (M6E) combines unique intellectual property and an experienced business team with multiple elite product teams to develop and manage a diversified portfolio of high growth products in the online, social and mobile games market.

As the demand for high-quality games accelerates, M6E is identifying unique intellectual properties though a deep network of industry contacts and generating new ones with a proprietary creative think tank known as the Council of Creators.

Individual developers frequently lack management resources, and corporate giants all too often stifle creative innovation. M6E breaks out of this mold by pairing an experienced business team and capital with brilliant product developers to create fantastic, diversified, and highly-profitable games.
