Execution Labs will be scouting for studios to invest in at next week’s Interface event.
Execution Labs, the accelerator and investment platform for independent game studios, is attending after much success at the first Interface in May. The company’s support of the event also follows a recent grad of the accelerator, Outerminds, built the number one charting PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist while in the Execution Labs program. In addition, the firm’s Finishing Fund supported the launch of highly-rated multiplayer brawler Secret Ponchos onto Steam last month.
"We are looking forward to meeting with entrepreneurial developers at Interface this fall," said Jason Della Rocca, co-founder of Execution Labs. "We have already welcomed a number of European and UK-based studios to the Execution Labs family this year and can’t wait to see who else is out there."
Stefano Petrullo, veteran communication specialist and founder of Renaissance PR, will be representing the Labs on-site. He added: "I had the amazing experience to be a mentor for Execution Labs’ latest Accelerator cohort, and I’m incredibly proud to represent them at Interface in November.
"I am keen to see new projects and innovative ideas coming from the creative British developers who will be there."
