Early-stage indie game developers who have secured financial support for a prototype face a critical transition from concept to market-ready product, where strong business foundations are essential for success. This dedicated business development programme looks to bridge this gap by equipping developers with the necessary skills in leadership, financial management, legal compliance, and market strategy.
Beyond technical development, navigating publisher negotiations, securing additional funding, and understanding monetization models are crucial for long-term sustainability. By providing expert mentorship, networking opportunities, and practical business training, the Elevate programme ensures that developers maximize their initial funding, and equips game developers with the strategic, financial, and operational skills needed to build sustainable and resilient businesses.
This programme will be designed for, and delivered to, the participants of the Indie Dev programme, complementing the creative and technical skill building for successful teams. It will be delivered in a hybrid format over 5 months.
