We took five women that had never made a game before and said they could make any game they wanted. We would help them create a pitch and in some cases a demo so they could sell their idea.

You picked the best one and now we are going to make it, to raise money for charity.

The winner was After Life Empire!!!

Our Reality?

Even in a today’s society, companies are not willing to hire women for leadership roles.

Our focus is to empower women and to encourage them to take part into a leadership role while interacting with a creative framework. We want to support and embrace a higher number of women hired by any entity in the whole spectrum of the videogame industry.

We are strengthening bonds across cultures so everyone is invited to back great games that can only be made with the support of a community. We are also exposing new and compelling ideas that everyone can enjoy.

The purpose of The Fine Young Capitalists is to create the means for that production. To allow people that would not have access to the funds or labour to present their ideas and be given the change to have it judged on only its merits.

The creator of these ideas will never lose ownership. All of the art, programming and everything we create will be licensed to them so they can present their idea to anyone that will listen. The only condition is that we get the chance to present it to the public and help them in making the game come to life.

Now, you have the chance to support the creators and so the women in the videogame industry. If you choose you can become a backer of any one of these woman’s game. We want you to be critical and judge which one of the five pitches you think it'd be a success. You will get profit participation in the game for your contribution as well as a copy of the game. Part of every dollar the game makes will go to a charity you choose.

The money that you give will pay for the salary of professional video game developers that will take the creator vision and bring it to life.

The artists will be paid, the creator will receive royalties and you will have backed a project created by a women because you believe that woman can succeed in business.

All of the code for the game will be open source. All of the games support modding. Even if you don’t have a money to spend you can help the production.

Women should be doing more games, should be leading more startups and should be creating more meaningful projects. Likewise technology industries should be more inclusive with women as leaders.
