Vator.tv, The Casual Games Association (CGA) and Pequot Ventures have partnered to seek out innovators and future leaders particularly in the video game industry. This will be done as a sponsored video pitch contest on Vator.
With the increase in casual games, both the CGA and Pequot are interested in finding the next big thing in the industry, and they've chosen Vator as their venue for seeking undiscovered talent. The contestants will be judged based on their pitches on Vator, and the winners of the challenge will get free admission to Casual Connect, a conference for the casual games industry next month in Seattle, as well as admission to the European Casual Connect Events in Kyiv and Amsterdam. Winners will also be featured in the Vator Reports, the new show on Vator featuring co-founder Bambi Francisco and Peter Thiel, as well as financial and industry training, and possibly funding from Pequot Ventures. The runner up will get a free XBox.
