Yep, I’m sure she could, I didn’t want to bother her just yet.
I just thought maybe some of the newly funded game start-ups could chat , share experiences\insights, shoot the shit, debate, talk, post, write, scribble…
Its a discussion forum after all………..anyone want to discuss? :)

We (Rocket Rainbow) are currently chasing CSF as an initial funding option.
We very much see it as a stepping stone to further funding. If you are going for HPSU funding then I would imagine that you are also chatting to VC’s and Angels and looking at EI to match. -

I wonder how many game companies have got CSF funding at this stage…it must be quite a few.

Not the games companies – Tribal and Redwind are still going. Cell play just changed its name.

Did they all get 50k or is that just assumed?
The 50k is not guaranteed, it’s in 2 stages of an initial 25k (+ 5k from promotors) and a further investment dependant on milestones achieved.It would be foolish to assume you are getting 50k ^_^ that’s with my Producers hat on.
So we have submit our application for this round and are just preparing the video interviews now. I believe there is a version of the iGap included in it but its not games specific.
Also, NDRC are piloting a program too that will be games specific. I believe it will be called GamePad. -

The NDRC program is running alongside LaunchPad but will have certain modules that are Game Dev specific. There will be mentorship from established companies and persons of interest as well as incubation space at the NDRC.
The CSF video interviews/pitch are in 3 sections;
1 Min – Discuss why customers would be compelled to buy your product
2 Min – Explain your Revenue model
2 Min – Any other commentsMake sure that you are telling your story rather than regurgitating your application form.
I will commit to writing a blog post about our experience once it’s finished. Maybe just remind me if I forget ;)
