If finding personalized help is this difficult, perhaps helping players finding solutions is a business that needs to exist? Connecting with his other co-founders, Rohan Gopaldas, a classmate and friend from Harvard Business School, and Jiapeng Ji, a Boston-based software engineer with experience in athletic coaching infrastructure, Gamer Sensei was born. One such experience, being coached by another Hearthstone player who appeared to have a little more expertise with the popular Face Hunter deck than Collis did, led to arguments and a mid-game hangup.įrom these types of frustrating experiences, an idea emerged. 'I was using all the resources available to me at the time, Twitch streams, deck guides, and nothing was working.'Ĭollis' quest to become a better Hearthstone player led him to seek help from other players, with decidedly mixed results. 'I was just playing Hearthstone with a bunch of buddies and I was basically kicked out of the group because I was so bad at Hearthstone,' Collis said. Collis' tale isn't that of a young card-game phenom blasting to the top of the ladder. It started when co-founder William Collis, a lifelong gamer, was playing Blizzard Entertainment's extremely popular online card game, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft.

Like a lot of businesses, Gamer Sensei started when someone had a simple need and found themselves unable to find a simple solution to meet that need - to find some coaching.
