By narrowing its focus to game designers, FDI is helping them overcome the hurdles of launching their games in just four months, accelerating their path to success in this competitive industry. As an Alberta Catalyzer Velocity alumnus, Founder Matt Freedman was working through how to structure the business and identify customers. The resources, coaching, and pitching opportunity provided by the program were game-changers, giving him a clearer understanding of his customer base and how to approach marketing—crucial elements for FDI's success.
