Money Talks - Publishing and Investment
summary
Panel lays out concrete advice: publishers take on marketing, admin, user acquisition and creative feedback and typically sign when there is a playable core loop to evaluate; investors put in equity to grow the company, can do pre-seed to large growth rounds (examples cited include multi-million NOK rounds and scaling teams from 5→15), and expect a long term relationship often measured over a decade. Successful pitches show a prototype or sizzle reel, clear team, budget and milestones, and debunk IP-stealing myths. Communication and timing matter — due diligence rarely fits into a single month.
