⚔️ Power Leveling applications LIVE!
Founders, let's do this.
Applications are open now for Power Leveling, a guild-based professional development experience for the Game Developers Conference in 2020. This year, we’re focused on creative leadership and supporting early stage founders.
Why? Because less than 3% of founders and c-suite executives in games are women or people of color, combined. Power Leveling is designed to highlight studios working at the forefront while uplifting those coming next.
Applications close next Monday, January 20 at noon CST. Don't hesitate to post any questions about the program in the #ask-glitch channel on Discord.
