Funding Futures Series: Chasing Unicorns: How Venture Funding Really Works
The session will focus on how venture capital funding (broadly) and VC funds (specifically) operate and how they are completely different from publishers and other sources of project funding. We'll explore the logic behind "VC math" and why they primarily invest in GaaS+F2P, and studios that are on a path to scale to unicorn valuations (ie, $1billion). This will also uncover why chasing VCs is usually a waste of time for game developers as we better understand what they actually look for in a potential deal. We will also examine how things are evolving since the pandemic, particularly at early stages and the need for more evidence.
