Narwhal Accelerator Launched by Dmitrii Filatov and Grigory Bortnik

Dmitrii Filatov and Grigory Bortnik have introduced the Narwhal Accelerator, a program designed to support gaming and game tech companies across Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East and North Africa region. The accelerator offers investments of up to $100,000, along with an additional $100,000 for operational support, including legal, HR, talent acquisition, and entity establishment. The initiative provides networking opportunities, analytics, and market insights, while allowing developers to maintain full control over their projects and business decisions. Participants can expect two to four months of engagement with publishers and investors, followed by several months of partnership development and deal negotiation. In exchange for its support, the accelerator will take a minority stake in the companies it backs. With their combined experience in the gaming industry, Filatov and Bortnik aim to bridge the gap between promising startups and venture capital investors, fostering growth and success for early-stage companies. "We strive to empower talented teams to reach their full potential by providing comprehensive support services that address the most critical aspects of their business, particularly during the early stages," Filatov stated.
