An accelerator
for studios building
games from the north.
Spawnpoint is a six-month programme & business network for game studios in Norway — built to grow sustainable, professional teams shipping games the world wants to play.
A vibrant Trøndelag for game-makers.
Spawnpoint Trondheim is a vision created by the founders of Work-Work and Kick-Ass Invest. Together with local partners across Trøndelag, we're building a sustainable game-development scene with successful, internationally recognised studios coming out of Norway.
A cohort of five
Each summer we open applications. After interviews and evaluations, we select five studios for the next programme.
Six months in Trondheim
Studios visit Trondheim once a month for hands-on workshops on operations, business strategy, marketing, sales and funding.
Publishers & investors
We bring publishers, project investors and our Valkyrian Council to the table — so studios pitch the people who matter.
Ten studios.
One trajectory.
Across two cohorts, Spawnpoint has supported ten Norwegian studios shipping everything from cozy summer adventures to fast-paced roguelikes — each rooted in a distinctive sense of place.
Pitches, polished and live.
After three months of pitch training, our five studios present their latest games to the Valkyrian Council — a panel of publishers and project investors. You're invited as audience.
