Back to collectionTwo Due Diligence Packages, One Playtest Night
Background: The studio had just begun expanding its playtest group while preparing for fundraising due diligence. Today: The team submitted due diligence materials to two prospective investors on time, then split up: some stayed at their desks to answer questions in the materials, while others tended to the playtest. Impact and next steps: Submitting the materials moved fundraising from preparation to waiting for feedback, while the playtest group kept going.

Background: The studio had just begun expanding its playtest group while preparing for fundraising due diligence. A-Zhen handled technical questions, and the Night Watchman led the community players; on this Friday, both efforts converged with playtest night.
Today: The team submitted due diligence materials to two prospective investors on time, then split up: some stayed at their desks to answer questions in the materials, while others tended to the playtest. A-Zhen first briefed a colleague on technical details that could affect the game, so players would not be left waiting if she was pulled into investor queries.
Impact and next steps: Submitting the materials moved fundraising from preparation to waiting for feedback, while the playtest group kept going. People covered both sides, but investor follow-ups and live player issues could still arrive at once. The team would need to see what the investors asked before deciding how to allocate its limited staff.
