Getting a local investor is as hard and rare as it gets. Miscalculating the amount of money and time taken to make a video game can tick off any investor that you might have, and it’s not anything new for me, I have seen that kind of situations many times before. For a foreign investor, you need to:
- Do your homework, create a good demo, prepare and document the various information an investor needs.
- Create a decent portfolio that shows you have experience. If wanting to pitch for a game, you should have at the very least multiple tech demos and preferably smaller games in your portfolio.
- Also, find a person who would be interested in your idea. Pitching a game idea to a Web guy might not get the desired feedback. Also, the right investor will guide you through things you are unfamiliar with.
- Find the right connections; it is really helpful if a common friend or acquaintance introduces you to relevant people.
