What the deal is:
We recommend you watch this presentation before you pitch, as it explains in depth how the fund works, why the terms below are our default, and how to best pitch.
View our standard agreement here. The money TL;DR is:
- We transfer the money, you make the game.
- You pay us back from your game's revenue after it releases (if ever).
- We ask for 75% of revenue until you've paid us back and for 25% of revenue after that — until 6 times the investment or 5 years after release.
- You're off the hook after 5 years, regardless of whether you've paid us back.
We think our agreement is developer-friendly:
- We have no say over you or your game.
- We won't impose milestones or deadlines on you.
- You keep your intellectual property ('IP').
- You can work with publishers, platforms, and other partners without limitations.
- You make money from the start, not just after recoup.
- Some income, such as additional funding, can be excluded from revenue sharing with us.
But that's just the stuff in the agreement; on request and depending on the availability of the investors, we can help:
- Pitch to publishers or platforms.
- Brainstorm on your marketing strategy.
- Solve hard game design problems.
- Get you in touch with the right people.
- … and many other things.
