Studio Support Programs

Better support for the studios in your program.

Independent market intelligence for your team. Better tools and resources for the studios you support.

For incubators, accelerators, industry organizations, and funding bodies that support game studios.

Discuss your program

Iridae helps you evaluate incoming projects, develop your cohort’s commercial understanding, and give studios access to tools they might otherwise struggle to afford.

There are three ways to work with us, depending on your program and budget.

Three ways to work with us

Support that fits your program.

  1. 01

    Evaluate incoming applications.

    More context for your selection committee.

    No review committee can be an expert in every genre. Iridae supplements applications with independent analysis of each concept: similarities beyond genre labels, how players have responded to comparable mechanics, and the commercial history of related games. It highlights the evidence, the uncertainties, and the questions worth raising with applicants.

    Your committee makes the decisions. We help provide the context.

    Pricing: Funded through your organization’s operating budget.

  2. 02

    Give your cohort better tools.

    Workshops, learning resources, and discounted access.

    Help studios understand their markets, challenge assumptions, and use player and commercial evidence well. Workshops and learning resources fit each stage, from early concepts to production decisions, commercial planning, and publisher pitches.

    Studios also get discounted access to Iridae’s products to apply what they learn to their own games.

    Pricing: Flat-fee workshops and resources, with discounted product access for participating studios.

  3. 03

    Fund access for your whole cohort.

    More comprehensive support, at a lower cost per studio.

    If you can cover access on behalf of your studios, we offer deeper group discounts and packages built around your program. Packages combine product access with workshops, learning resources, and support at key checkpoints.

    Studios might start with concept and market analysis, revisit their assumptions in production, and build evidence-backed commercial cases before graduation. We can support a single phase or a full program.

    Pricing: Cohort-funded packages with deeper discounts and bundled resources.

Ongoing support

Support that continues between sessions.

When studios use Iridae throughout development, their understanding of the game and its market can evolve alongside the project.

With each studio’s permission, program teams can receive relevant updates about material risks, changing assumptions, and approaching decisions.

That helps you identify when a studio might benefit from mentoring, specialist expertise, or additional resources, without needing access to its day-to-day development work.

Studios can also carry their research, forecasts, and supporting evidence into conversations with publishers, investors, and other partners after the program ends. Over time, programs can use appropriately shared outcomes to understand where teams needed support and improve future cohorts.

Built around the way you work.

You might need independent research for an annual application review, workshops for a short accelerator, or ongoing access for a funded cohort. These arrangements can stand alone or work together. Tell us about your program, the studios you support, and the resources you have available. We’ll help you find an approach that fits.
