Description:After years with heavy investment into the game industry it is now getting more difficult to attract funding as publishers scale down and money is less accessible. Is this really the case ? What has changed and how can companies looking for funding react on these changing conditions. The talk will answer a few of these questions and come with some recommendations on how to position yourself in this market as a studio or gaming tech company. Intended audience: A basic understanding of publishing mechanics and crowdfunding may be useful, but I will dedicate 5 minutes of the presentation to set up all the basics (publishing, crowdfunding, equity investment, convertible debt, loan) so every company manager can get the point. Game development studio owners looking to accelerate their growth will look forward to this conference, as it is a very good opportunity for them to go from a 100k-units seller studio to a million-seller one, while keeping their IPs and offering them a nice retirement plan if they stay dedicated to their art. Key takeaways: Attendees will learn how investors may think of their company and evaluate it. They will also learn more about private equity and convertible debt funding, which can be an interesting opportunity compared to the usual publishing or crowdfunding routes. For some founders who think of their company as a family business they should keep running until retirement (or possibly burn-out/exhaustion), they may rethink it's value and understand how big players would like to leverage their creativity, while giving them a fair share of the profits.
