Hello all! So glad I found this forum. I am in the planning stages of a gaming project, starting part time but I hope would turn into a funded startup soon since I have connections with investors. I come from an extensive media and entertainment technology background (18 years experience) but not gaming, so would love to bring on an advisor to help.

I am looking for senior level folks (6+ years of experience, ideally 8+) who are interesting in getting involved with startups. Can be either a game developer, graphics software engineer, or 3D modeler / designer, having built games at gaming companies, platforms like Unity, or at modeling/creative software companies.

Can assign equity for your help in the beginning, or cash after fund raise - all flexible and negotiable.

If that sounds interesting, I'd love to do a quick intro call!

Also let me know if there are other sites/resources/events where I can find such folks.

Thanks,

Thanks Katty. Generally speaking the folks on these websites are either too young (just starting out) or if they are more experienced/senior they are looking to get hired/paid cash to do work.

I am primarily looking for an experienced collaborator or advisor, who is willing to help with some general advice and guidance (say 1 hour / week) for equity in the company.

By the way, do you know of any events in NYC?
