Chartboost University: Our 1st Graduating Class

Hello World!

Chartboost University: Boot Camp attendees have graduated and everyone (Speakers included) have had a very fulfilled two weeks of experience. Our teams have traveled the world to come to San Francisco, work out of the Chartboost office and learn from the best and brightest the mobile gaming world has to offer.

Last week speakers from Booyah, GREE, Kabam, Z2Live and several others; this week we added Beyond Games, Get Set, Kerosene Games, Pocket Gems, Sequoia Capital, Shiny Shoes, Tout, Twyngo and several others. After two weeks of information packed sessions, we asked our beloved indie developer teams to share some closing comments on the program.

Here’s what they thought.

Meet the Boot Campers: Coconut Island Studio

As we get closer to the first ever Chartboost University: Boot Camp, which kicks off next Tuesday, March 12, we thought it’d be a good idea to fill everyone in on exactly who will be attending. While we already posted a quick peek at the participants, we thought it was only fair to profile each of the seven developers. So, in the one day left until we’re joined by our international comrades, you’ll be treated to one interview per day. We hope you enjoy them!

Announcing Our First Chartboost University: Boot Camp Participants

On January 31st, we announced our new program Chartboost University: Boot Camp. The number of applicants have been overwhelming from the indie community as we have received more than 200 entries from around the world. The past three weeks have been very hard for us as we focused on reviewing every single team and each of their members.

Our review process included downloading and playing games, watching gameplay videos; as well as many LinkedIn, GitHub and Google searches. We wanted to make sure every applicant received an equal chance to participate and we have met a lot of awesome people in the process.

Before announcing our selected attendees, I would like to give a round of virtual applause to the amazing level of talent that we have seen. We encourage you to stay focused on your games and projects, Chartboost University is a permanent program, so keep an eye out for new opportunities.
