Alt Funding: New Approaches to Financing Games in a Self-published World

July 13, 2026 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

About Session

In a world where self-publishing has become the default setting for most games studios, the question remains: how do we finance our games? In this panel, we will explore different perspectives on how to address the issue. The discussion will range from emerging new fund models, to changes in financing terms, to the evolution of funder objectives. If you are looking for funding outside the traditional publisher landscape — or looking to invest in games through a new vehicle, this is where you want to be.
