Game Studio & Game Infrastructure - Pitch Practice
Your pitch deck is required to attend this event.
Are you a game developer or building game infrastructure? Getting your pitch right is critical for funding conversations.
These sessions, hosted by Rodo and in partnership with TechLAB Innovation Center, are designed specifically for game dev and game infrastructure founders who want honest, actionable feedback from people who've been in the room with investors and publishers.
How to Prepare Your Deck
The 10-slide format Rodo uses to evaluate and prepare studios for investor and publisher conversations:
Cover — Key art, title, one-liner, platform
The Problem — Market gap, backed by data
The Game & The Hook — What it is, what makes it unique, shown in motion
Market Size — TAM SAM SOM, sourced
Comp Titles — Proof the audience exists and is spending
Traction — Wishlists, demo, community, press, playtester feedback
The Team — Founder first. Shipped titles lead.
Production Plan — Milestones, current stage, target release
Budget — Allocation by category, percentages and absolutes
The Ask — Amount, terms, what they get in return
