Funding Games
What we will cover

Funding Games

A realistic review of project costs, funding routes, prototypes, staged manufacturing and whether crowdfunding, grants, direct buyers or self-funding are appropriate.

  • Are you looking to start a crowdfunding project such as Kickstarter? We can help with the reality of running a crowd funding campaign as a micro business because we have done it.
  • Do you know the hidden costs of raising money? Find out in context to the range of routes to funding.
  • Have you explored other routes to raising the money needed for your game? Get a realistic take on financing game production and being in the business of games from the point of starting out to having a small business. 
Raising money is very hard work and not for the faint-hearted. This is a difficult global economy and a fractured, attention-fatigued audience. It takes a lot of skill to make a good game and a lot more skill and cunning to sell it. Discuss your ideas, options and possibilities of reaching your goal of getting your game made, and selling. 

  • A non-disclosure agreed and IP protected conversation.
  • Documented report included

Before the session

Bring a rough budget, prototype status and the amount you believe the project requires.
