I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve just secured seed funding from Webstart Bristol to launch my mobile game development studio, Paper Street Games Ltd! This is a dream come true after two months of intense learning and preparation following my departure from Aardman.
From Ideas to Opportunity
While I initially lacked a single, concrete idea, I applied to Webstart with a few promising mobile game concepts. During the pitch, the investors were more interested in my background and overall skillset. This led to an unexpected yet exciting offer: funding to establish a mobile game development studio itself!
This funding allows me to explore my creative game ideas with the support of experienced mentors and financial backing.
The Investment Package
Webstart Bristol’s investment includes:
- £[redacted] in funding
- 3 months of office space in a fantastic location
- Access to a team of developers and designers
- A dedicated business mentor
- Valuable startup benefits
In exchange, I’ve offered a 10% stake in Paper Street Games Ltd.
Following the Paper Trail: A Developer’s Blog
I’m hoping to keep this blog updated with my journey as I bring my game ideas to life. While many blogs fizzle out quickly, I’m committed to sharing my experiences, challenges, and successes as Paper Street Games takes flight.
