Gaming Start-ups Look For Their Turn

startup launchpad.png
It's hard to know for sure if there are more gaming startups and and more successful gaming startups these days. For sure gaming startups tend to be overshadowed by social networks and other Web 2.0 startups. Perhaps enviously looking over at other tech sectors that have more buzz, the gaming startups arena is taking steps to change that. We note that Charles River Ventures and the Game Developers Conference have announced a conference series for gaming community entrepreneurs set to take place Friday, February 22nd in San Francisco.

Startup Launchpad will feature a business plan competition. Presenters include Raptr CEO and former Xfire founder Dennis "Thresh" Fong, LiveGamer president Andy Schneider, Rmbr CEO Gabe Zichermann, Twofish CEO Lee Crawford and iminlikewithyou founder Charles Forman.

Sounds cool. We"ll be there.
