Through collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to excellence, GDFL will be an environment where community and industry can connect, thrive, and drive the future of digital gaming.
GDFL offers a 1-year in-person program designed to help digital gaming startups reach their goals by providing desk space, in-person staff support, academic and industry mentorship, networking opportunities, investor guidance, tailored workshops, and office hours.
