08/08/2017As an independent game developer, you may be excellent at turning cool game concepts into a great game. But do you know how to draft a business plan? Have you identified your target audience? What’s the best way to get your game noticed? Maybe you need someone to map out some of the road.
Kopiloot is a new online tool that aims to connect creative entrepreneurs with experts that can aid them to achieve their goals. These experts can offer their insight on one particular issue, or they can guide you all the way through. They’re not going to take the wheel though. It’s your company and it’s your game. You’ll be in the driving seat the whole time, deciding where to go next.
Using the platform is easy. Just create a profile and line out what you do and what kind of help you’re looking for. The more details you provide, the easier it is for the right advisors to reach out to you. Alternatively, you can browse the list of experts yourself and communicate with them through the platform.
Even though all experts have cut their teeth in the creative industry, the platform is still deepening its portfolio. Specifically, they’re still looking for experts that are willing to help out game companies. If you feel like your insights or expertise can be of great use, don’t hesitate to apply as a mentor. As the platform wants to guarantee the quality of their advisors, all mentor applications will be reviewed by a committee. This ensures both starters that they will receive proper coaching and mentors that they’re a good fit for the platform before they start to invest valuable time.
Kopiloot is an initiative of Agentschap Innoveren & Ondernemen and Flanders DC.
