Execution Labs
|
Execution Labs was founded in 2012 with the goal of providing hands-on support to talented game developers in order to help them become better entrepreneurs and business leaders. Not long after, the founders brought on a full-time staff of experts to supplement the wisdom of our volunteer mentors, who often flew from all corners of the world tooffer their own guidance and direction to our studios. Over the years we evolved from a hybrid incubator/accelerator based in one physical space to a global investor, offering our support remotely to studios across North America and Europe. In our current form we are not investing in new studios, but instead focus on supporting our network of some of the best independent games studios in the business. | $5.3M / Series A / Nov 10, 2014 |
