Los Angeles, CA

Have you thought about founding an independent game studio but didn't know where to start? Join us for an evening of food, drink, fun conversation and an insightful panel discussion with game industry luminaries pulling back the curtain on the gaming startup ecosystem. #LATechWeek is the perfect venue to bring together founders, investors, independent games publishers, and international strategic partners in one place to reveal the process of getting your studio off the ground, fundraising, and finding the right partners to scale and go global.

​1AM Gaming VC and partners will be hosting the event on October 16th from 6:00 to 9:00 PM in the vibrant Japantown district around Sawtelle Blvd. In addition to discovering the behind-the-scenes of the gaming startup world, this is also an opportunity to network, share ideas, and make meaningful connections with some of the brightest minds in the industry.

​Space will be limited to 150 attendees, so apply early and be patient. We expect to be over capacity for this event, so we will be prioritizing invitations by those who are closest to the target audience for the panel and those working in the gaming startup community as founders, investors, independent publishers, and strategics. Parking, food & drink will be provided. Panelists and venue will be announced in the weeks leading up to the event, so stay tuned to this space.

​Grab your friends, bring your curiosity, and let's connect. See you there!

​Special thanks to sponsors Greg Lovett @ Cushman & Wakefield, Justin Berenbaum @ Xsolla, and Jonathan Chan @ Wilson Sonsini for their generous support.
