Games London is launching the third edition of our free, accelerator programme for games studio founders and we're looking for industry mentors and business leaders who are able to offer their time and guidance to help this year's new cohort.

This long-term scheme will run from September - December 2022 and is set to help promising UK studio founders make significant strides in developing their business acumen and preparing them to take their product to market. Through a series of masterclass and workshop sessions, the programme offers a range of industry insight and practical training, ultimately setting the studios up with a renewed focus and accelerated growth for their studio.

The mentoring is an extension to the programme’s core learning content with each studio founder paired with a mentor to work with throughout the scheme to provide supplementary one-to-one coaching and guidance to help develop their business. Mentors and mentees will be expected to meet once per month from September 2022 to December 2022; allocating at least one full hour for each session.

The 2022 Accelerator will continue to be predominantly an online scheme, but this year we will incorporate some pre-planned in-person moments across the programme. The mentoring sessions can be done online or in person, depending on the agreed preferences of each pairing.

We're able to offer a fixed fee as a contribution to our mentors.
