Pixels Pitch Day: Announcing Our Winners!
In June, Lumikai hosted the inaugural edition of Pixels Pitch Day, bringing together early-stage founders building across games, gaming x AI, gaming-tech, and AR/VR/MR, pitching for an investment of up to $250K from our Pixels pre-seed program.
The event received over 150 applications from across India, with six companies shortlisted to pitch before a jury comprising Salone Sehgal, Founder & Managing Partner, Lumikai; Akshat Rathee, Co-founder & Managing Director, NODWIN Gaming; Sean Hyunil Sohn, CEO, KRAFTON India; Tomoharu Urabe, Managing Director, MIXI Global Investments India; Oliver Jones, Co-founder & CEO, Bombay Play; and Ramakrishna Reddy, Co-founder & CEO, QuriousBit. More than 40 founders, operators, and ecosystem participants attended the showcase and community mixer.
The event resulted in two investments: Yum Yum Labs, a casual gaming studio and SwaVid, a gamified interactive edtech platform for school kids, reinforcing our conviction that India's earliest-stage founders are building ambitious products across gaming and interactive media. We will be sharing more on these startups as deals head to closure.
Players enjoy friday night funkin for its simple controls, energetic music, and increasingly difficult rhythm challenges across every level.
Pixels Pitch Day shows how much creativity is going into games, with new ideas coming from studios working across gaming, AI, and interactive technology. Some games are made to entertain or teach, while others are built to make you nervous and keep you guessing. That darker side of gaming is where horror games really stand out.
congratulations to the winners and all the participants. it's encouraging to see such a focused event for early-stage gaming and interactive media founders in india. the mix of gaming, ai, and edtech among the finalists shows the diversity of ideas emerging. looking forward to seeing how yum yum labs and swavid develop with this support.
