The EGG Mission

GAME FUNDING IS A CHICKEN EGG PROBLEM

Making games is hard so a lot of studios seek funding. It's hard to get funding without a great playable prototype but it's hard to make a great prototype without funding. What's a studio supposed to do?

PROTOTYPE FUNDING SHOULD BE EQUITY-BASED

Y Combinator solved the pre-demo funding problem for early-stage startups and invented the Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE). Yet more than a decade later, many studios struggle to find early-stage funding. EGG's mission is to bring the Y Combinator model to the gaming industry.

STUDIO FUNDING SHOULD BE MORE LIKE STARTUP FUNDING
