Learn about DMG’s new initiative, Damage Labs, and its first Studio Startup cohort aimed at founding new studios led by marginalized and underrepresented founders. Join us for an information session introducing the program before applications to participate open September 14!

The Studio Startup program is for new founders from historically marginalized and underrepresented backgrounds ready to start a game studio. Explore ethical labour frameworks, alternative financing and structures that centre marginalized creators.

To learn more about the curriculum, supports and timelines, please join us for this info session, and check out the web site: damagelabs.ca
