The places on the MDS Studios Business Accelerator Programme were highly contested in 2017, with seven teams vying for the two available positions on the programme. Each team pitched their respective game titles to our MDS Studios industry panel, which consisted of MDS CEO Darryn Melrose, Blowfish Studios' Ellen Jurik, Goat Ventures CEO Shaveer Mirpuri, and Ben Ward of Five Eight Distribution. Collectively, the judges decided on the two teams that they felt had the most potential to take their entrepreneurial and commercial skills to the next level.
