£600k Investment Deal Covers Development, Production and Marketing to Kickstart Three New Interactive Entertainment Properties in 2016.
Games Co. London, an economical games development funding platform, today announced a new funding deal with their partners Goldfinch Entertainment – the gold standard in entertainment and media investment. The deal will provide £600k in funding for three new gaming properties, with an even larger second round coming in 2017, as the platform continues its mission of offering independent game developers access to games funding which lets them keep their IP and company equity while providing the essential support to make their funds go further, their revenues increase, and the freedom to choose between third party publishing or a supported self-publishing route.
