A gaming studio is also a startup. From building teams and securing funding to scaling products and entering global markets, game developers face many of the same challenges as other founders. In this Hangout, we’ll explore what it really means to build a gaming studio as a startup and how the gaming industry fits into the wider entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Taking place during a week that puts gaming in the spotlight in Lisbon, with events like the gamescom dev leadership summit, this session is part of a broader celebration of the sector. We’ll discuss how gaming studios can navigate growth, connect with investors and ecosystem players, and position themselves for long-term success. A conversation for developers, founders, and anyone curious about the startup side of gaming.
