Gamestarter

Gamestarter positions itself as a comprehensive ecosystem for the Web3 gaming sector, founded in 2021 by Andrius Miron (CEO), Sylvia Savi (CMO), and Jonathan (COO). Andrius Miron, a veteran in software development and former CTO of CFlow, now leads Gamestarter's mission to simplify Web3 onboarding for game developers. The platform addresses the funding challenges faced by independent game developers, who often have to relinquish equity or intellectual property to secure financing. Gamestarter provides an alternative by enabling developers to raise capital by pre-selling in-game assets as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), allowing them to retain full ownership.

The company's business model is multifaceted, operating as a launchpad, accelerator, incubator, game development studio, and NFT marketplace. Through its launchpad (GamePad), Gamestarter facilitates Initial Game Offerings (IGOs), providing projects with marketing support, access to a community of investors, and strategic guidance. The accelerator program focuses on enhancing marketing and visibility for established Web3 projects, while the incubator assists early-stage ideas with services ranging from roadmap creation and tokenomics to full-scale game development via its in-house GS Studio. GS Studio is responsible for developing original titles like "Dark Frontiers" and "Pixel Pix".

Revenue is generated through various streams within its ecosystem. The platform's native token, $GAME, is central to its economy. It's used for all transactions, including purchasing NFTs on the marketplace, paying for GameID services based on monthly active users, and covering hosting and download fees on the GameHub. Staking $GAME tokens grants users access to IGOs, with a tiered system offering different levels of allocation. The token also functions as the native gas token for the GameChain network, where a portion of transaction fees is burned to create deflationary pressure. Gamestarter has successfully raised over $2.3 million from investors, including DAO Maker, Shima Capital, and AC Capital, and has launched over 60 projects on its platform.
