Funding Early Stage Gaming
summary
Early-stage mobile games need fast prototypes and real market tests rather than full builds: aim for Market sensing with quick KPIs like D7 retention and spend-stage data, not polished feature lists. Typical timelines are one to two years from concept to launch and roughly 15–20M to win initial market share over ~2.5 years. Funding options include self-fund, publisher deals, strategic partners or financiers; consider platform support such as Madness Mentors for development, marketing and launch.
