GameON: Finance 2012 looks at Accelerators and Massive Damage
GameON: Finance is North America's top business forum for the interactive entertainment industry, connecting developers, innovators, investors and industry leaders. And it's returning to Toronto in January.
Delegates will gather for two days of keynotes, case-studies, lectures and panel discussions providing insight on topics like emerging opportunities in game project financing and deal-making across platforms.
The Day Two schedule of the January 17th/18th conference will be of particular interest to anyone following the accelerator space with a case study being presenting on Montreal's Year One Labs and portfolio company Massive Damage.
Toronto's Massive Damage unleashed their free location-based zombie apocalypse game Please Stay Calm in September to rave reviews.
Founded in November 2010 by veteran app developers Ken Seto and Garry Seto, Massive Damage was Year One Labs first investment and is focused on building highly addictive, social and immersive location-based mobile games.
Last month Massive Damage closed a $325,000 angel round that included Boston’s Apricot Capital and Toronto’s Grassfed Capital as well as angels Ty Danco and Shopify CEO, Tobias Lütke.
