                                                  The Reverse Pitch - Where Publishers and Investors Pitch to Game Developers

                                                   

                                                  The idea behind the Reverse Pitch, hosted by Agora Gaming Partners at gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show, is simple: give publishers and investors a taste of their own medicine.

                                                   

                                                  This time, they get 7 minutes to pitch to you.
