   #098 GeniusLabs | If You Don’t Quit, Someday You Will Find Product-Market Fit

   The modern gaming industry is massive, almost as big as the movie industry. However, things are tough, as game developers have to compete with user-generated content platforms like TikTok and YouTube. To keep up, game developers need to be able to produce quality content faster than ever before. That’s exactly the service offered by Nadav Benoudiz and his startup GenieLabs, which is a smart content engine for gaming studios. It’s been quite a journey for Nadav and GenieLabs in trying to gain traction in the gaming industry. Nadav recently sat down with startup coach Roland Siebelink on the Midstage Startup Momentum Podcast. He told Roland about the challenges and learnings he’s had on his long startup journey. How to get beyond the referral stage for acquiring new customers. The importance of picking an industry where you have a passion. The best way for early-stage founders to validate their idea. Why it’s hard for founders to solve market problems. The difference between being praised for a good idea and finding people who will pay for your product. When it’s time for a founder to pivot and change course.

   #097 Mother Games | Creating a New Way of Seeing the World

   The gaming industry is always open to creative and innovative ideas. Mother Games is one startup that is doing just that, both in terms of gameplay and in the way that it operates. The company’s first game Le Zoo will be out soon, promising a transformational experience for players. But outside of the gameplay, Mother Games is doing things a little differently. Co-founder and CEO Kelsey Falter is taking her experience from a previous startup and applying those lessons to Mother Games. Kelsey recently joined Roland Siebleink on the Midstage Startup Momentum Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the inspiration behind Mother Games, what makes Le Zoo different from other games, and the approach Mother Games is taking to building both games and a company. What it means to build in public and how Mother Games is allowing customers to participate in game design. Why Mother Games is rethinking boilerplate privacy policies. The best ways to gain the trust of customers. What it’s like for Kelsey to navigate the uniqueness of a company as it grows. How Mother Games constantly reorganizes the company around the strengths of its people.
