TITLE
Our experience with building an original game app company

ABSTRACT
Having a creative original idea is one thing, but turning it into a game app company needs much more to overcome the challenges ahead. In this talk, I will draw from my experience in setting up The Mathematical Games Company (TMGCL) and developing the new maths puzzle cZeus Maths Challenger, and talk about the diverse set of skills (technical, vision and leadership) and the innovative drive you need to turn an idea into reality. Building, leading and motivating a team of technology developers, designers, artists, legal professionals and developing relationships with key industry professionals and academia are key to the successful progression of a start-up company.
