Mary Carty

I am very honoured to be invited back as a dragon at Nordic Game 2013 Live Pitch Event.  It was so much fun learning about the very best  startup and games talent from the Nordic Region. Last year’s winners Boldai were acquired by Linden labs after their win and well deserved too. I am very excited to help another fantastic company on their way, along with a great team of investors and experts.

This year and I would love to see brilliant Irish companies compete with the best European has to offer. Get your applications in by 12th of April to info@gamescapital.eu  and  jacob@nordicgame.com. Very much looking forward to meeting you at Nordic Game. Good Luck!
