We officially started the Spawn Point Trondheim program with our second batch of game developers on Thursday. The workshop was mostly about getting to know each other, the games, the game studios and what our aspirations are.
We were very pleased to have a veteran from the games industry here, Jon Grande, who could share his experience which ranged from signing games, pitching games, running production, investing in game studios, analytics and pitching. Whilst each game studios' pitch was the focus point we had discussions about growth, team management, opportunities, market reach, money, marketing, publishers, negotiation, vision, how the game evolves with financial partners and a little more about money.
We learned so much from the conversations, pitches, Jon and the game developers. And we were also really pleased with this year's selection of game studios and their eagerness to learn and get better at business development. It's important for us that the teams work on finding their own voice, vision and sale goals rather than have a template and that requires a lot of discussion, questions, practice and learning. And the room at Work-Work was overflowing with this energy. This is going to be fun!
Thanks again to Jon Grande for flying out here and engaging with all of us, asking the right questions and shining his flashlight of experience on the paths of opportunity ahead of his. And thank you to StartupTRD for their support and engagement as we all learn to navigate this industry and works towards success!
Myte Interactive, Adventales, Infinity Branch, Fremmed Games and Wander Wolf Studios - looking forward to the next 6 months!
