Description

Founded last year, Glow Up Games continues to make aggressive strides in its goal to make games and creative experiences that center on marginalized stories — from how video games look in terms of representation as well through the behind-the-scenes when it comes to developers.

In this session, hear from Glow Up’s Mitu Khandaker and Latoya Peterson as they share their journey as founders of the first ever all women of color game studio, their path to raising a $1.2M pre-seed, and their commitment to diversifying the industry from the ground up. They’ll also discuss their recent partnership with HBO on Insecure: The Come Up Game, and other projects in the pipeline.
