Risks

Some barriers prevent entering the market.
The product is still adapting to the market needs and demands of the current customers. We are finalizing the onboarding process for B2B/B2C and improving our offer.
The goal is to make the onboarding as simple as possible for both the content creators and players.

Technological barriers:
1. Adaptation of the platform to the simplified connection of video and tabletop games, as well as collectible miniatures.
2. Compilation of flow for getting traction from games - which information to take and how to do this correctly.

Legal barriers: EU introduces new laws that complicate the work of marketplaces (GDPR, PSD2). This is a significant barrier for our company because we work in Europe and plan to enter other markets. We have to adapt our business model to demands of regulators.

Key client: The current task is to start working with a big client from the game industry. It’s a difficult task and significant barrier because not all the processes are settled properly.

Production: At the moment, we work with two contractors. Still, we are negotiating with manufacturers from China, which could take care of this part.

Logistics barrier: The same as with the previous item, the goal is to form the ecosystem and transfer these tasks to third-party contractors.

Access to clients: To reach B2B clients, we use mostly ABM approach, networking, and participation in professional events. We use mass-marketing for reaching B2C clients + influencers in different game genres.
