Video Game Industry / Capital Generation

Hi All,

I'm looking to see if there is anyone working in the video game industry, specifically in corporate finance, treasury, strategy or M&A roles. Looking to learn more about the industry.

Especially if you work for one of the bigger studios (Activision/Blizzard, EA, Riot, etc).

Specifically I'd be interested in learning about how these and other smaller studios raise capital.

About me: MM IB Banker located in NYC. Working with quite a few TMT companies in debt/equity raising

Thanks, and have a great weekend everyone!
