The XPerience Excellence Accelerator (XEA) is a first-of-its-kind mobile game accelerator formed in partnership with leading streaming provider and growing gaming platform Netflix. The program combines industry education, networking, and funding for Black game developers with mobile game concepts.
To help expand opportunities for Black game development teams, XEA also provides $20,000 grants to each team to support prototype development for pitching to potential investors, publishers and partners.
“Since Black Voices in Gaming’s inception, our team has been continually pursuing new programs and partnerships to help raise visibility and opportunities for developers in the Black community,” said Justin Woodward, co-founder of Black Voices in Gaming. “The evolution of Netflix in the gaming space and dedication to innovate in the industry is fresh and opens up opportunities to serve new audiences on a familiar platform which is exciting. It is great to be able to collaborate on this program with the cohort of talented developers in the Black Voices in Gaming community.”
