Start-up: Games-Entrepreneurs 2024 Supports Nine Indie Studios
In 2024, Start-up: Games-Entrepreneurs is supporting a total of 16 founders to realise their vision of an indie games studio. The teams accepted into the programme are Achtung Autobahn, gypynkt Games, Headkino, Jalil Daif, No foolin' Games, Nukuna Interactive, Shit Show Studios, Sunbeam Games and The Roof Interactive.
Nine aspiring game companies kicked off the "Start-up: Games Entrepreneurs" programme with a two-day workshop at the premises of the Stiftung Digitale Spielkultur (Digital Games Culture Foundation). The 16 participants were selected in June by a jury of six experts, including Valentina Birke (Super Crowd Entertainment), Johanna Janiszewski (Tiny Crocodile Studios), Jörg Luibl (GEE Magazin), Lorenzo Pilia (Saftladen Collective / BerlinGameScene.com), Mai-Vy Thach (Ubisoft) and Thorsten S. Wiedemann (A MAZE.). The programme teaches individuals and teams of up to five people the basics of setting up a business in the games industry. Start-up: Games-Entrepreneurs is organised and run by the Stiftung Digitale Spielkultur and is funded by the Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg.
