Pitching a Gaming Company to Investors

What the talk is about

Artur Davydenko explains how to build an investor pitch for a games company and what the path from first contact to funding looks like. First, find the right investor: angels, venture funds and strategic investors write different cheques and take different stakes, and a fund should work at your stage and already back similar products. He recommends starting with a one-page teaser that can be read in 30 seconds, then a full pitch deck: a solid structure (team with concrete achievements, demo and metrics, market, competitors, product, marketing, funding needs), hard numbers and a clear ask. Storytelling is a bonus. He walks through the stages of talks with a fund, the financial model, references, the offer and the term sheet, with typical timelines. Useful for founders of game studios seeking their first investment.
