Indie Pitch Workshop 2019

We are looking for ambitious Indie Studios based in Hamburg or northern Germany!

At the Indie Pitch Workshop on Saturday, October 19th you will have the chance to pitch your game to the "Grumpy Old Men", aka game veterans Wolfgang Walk and Michael Hengst. The pitches are confidential and will take place behind closed doors. 

So what is the benefit for you? The two industry insiders will give you valuable feedback on your pitch, your business plan and your release strategy, including an assessment of your market opportunities.

Grumpy Old Men will have a close look on your game and you can continue working on it with their valuable tips to put the final touches to your pitch.

The most convincing studios (maximum two studios) will win an intensive training with the Grumpy Old Men, which will take place on the following day (Sunday, October 20).

During the intensive training Wolfgang and Michael will take a closer look at your studio and your game, uncover every weak point and will give you concrete tips and suggestions for improvement. Of course, the Grumpy Old Men are also available to answer any questions you may have.

Submit your application now!

Deadline for applications is October, 14.
