Marketing Agencies Specializing in Crowdfunding
Onboarding marketing agencies that are specializing in indie game crowdfunding is a win-win for both parties. The agencies get to reach their goals much faster with less effort, and Gamestarter gets an effortless stream of fresh games.
Now imagine, if we have 10, 30, or 100 agencies onboard? The result is a neverending stream of worldwide game projects. To sweeten the deal, most projects will be introduced to the world of blockchain, bringing their fanbase with them!
What’s more, the idea of adding the Gamestarter platform as a main or additional source to attract new investors could be very compelling. Both parties would benefit from this partnership. Marketing agencies will share their client pool, meaning more listings and traffic on the Gamestarter platform while Gamestarter will take care of funding and will help market the games. Additionally, Gamestarter will add extra value if the game developer/studio as a client benefits from having a community that has a stake in the game industry. Therefore, marketing agencies co-operating with Gamestarter will be able to reach their goal easier and faster without any additional fees.
Indie Game Developers
Most of the indie game developers who don’t have enough funds to complete their game have to find a way to fundraise which can be quite challenging. Though there are different options in the market that can provide such support, the payback might not be so attractive. For example, game publishing companies can pay in advance for the development fees, but once a game is released, the publisher recoups these costs along with other auxiliary expenditures like localization testing, marketing, or promotion fees. Also, game developers can be obliged to give away their equity, commit to a single publishing platform, or even sign off their intellectual property, diminishing their earning potential.
Gamestarter is an alternative source of funding that bypasses all these problems mentioned above. It will charge only 2% from all transactions made by buyers (0% for the first 100 games to get on board) and there’s no listing fee on the platform. Also, marketing support will be provided to reach the right audience and increase game brand awareness by attracting many different investors/players. By choosing Gamestarter, game creators will maintain full ownership, profit, and IP of their game without any hindering commitments.
Indie Game Studios
Usually, most of the potential game studios work with VCs or clients who place a request to make a particular game upon their requirements. In this case, it’s most likely they already have all the funding in place. However, the Gamestarter platform can be also used as an additional source of income that will allow game studios to raise the quality of their game, or find new gamer audiences.
Also, as the market is so convoluted, it can be challenging for newly launched game studios to find investors. For this reason, crowdfunding platforms could ease their way to success. With all the marketing support and community that Gamestarter provides, it can offer the fastest way to raise funds with no upfront fees. Also, in-game assets backed as NFTs can accrue significant resale value if a game becomes more popular. Investors will be able to trade it in the marketplace that will generate a passive income for the game owner from every transaction made.
Gamestarter Originals
“Originals” are Gamestarter’s in-house creations, that will be funded and accelerated by Gamestarter Fund. They will also act as game content feeders, similarly to Netflix Originals, adding to the experience and involving the community.

Investing in marketing does not only benefit Gamestarter but also all the game listings on the platform. Therefore, marketing will always stay an utmost priority.

Infrastructure Partnerships
Forging long-lasting partnerships with other synergistic projects will benefit Gamestarter in multiple ways. It will improve the existing ecosystem for our users by adding more options, e.g. to mint NFTs, stake $GAME or introduce necessary tools to our game listing developers. Furthermore, it will cross-promote both platform partners and effectively share their communities.
