One of the first steps for any game developer looking to create a new game is to secure the necessary funds. But, how does a new company go about doing that and what factors should they consider? Join the MIT Enterprise Forum’s New England Games SIG (NE Games SIG) for an evening of post-E3 networking and education surrounding this topic. Hear the perspectives of VCs, developers and publishers who will help to answer a number of questions for attendees, such as: 

-          What are VCs looking for when it comes to funding a new project? What can new companies do to stand out?

-          Is anyone funding blockbuster game titles or are social web & mobile games taking over?

-          How is funding mobile & social games different from more traditional video games?

The panel will feature executives from both sides of the spectrum including Tim Wright (General Partner, GrandBanks Capital), Jamy Nigiri (Jagex Games Studio / Stealth Mode), Jaime Gotch (CTO of Subatomic Studios) and Michael Dornbrook (Former COO of Harmonix and Board Member, Common Angels), among others.

Come early or stay late to enjoy light appetizers/ drinks and to network with your peers.The event will be held at the Microsoft NERD Center (One Memorial Drive, Cambridge).
